Nova Scotia Premier Iain Rankin announced Thursday that it will open its border to people travelling from New Brunswick without restrictions starting June 30 at 8 a.m.
The province said there will be no requirements to self-isolate or complete the Nova Scotia Safe Check-in.
As of Thursday, Rankin also announced that people travelling from New Brunswick with two doses of the COVID-19 vaccine do not have to isolate at all.
At least two arrests were made Wednesday at a blockade at the Trans-Canada Highway between Nova Scotia and New Brunswick after RCMP officers moved on protesters. The move came more than 24 hours after protesters, angry at the modified restrictions, first brought traffic to a standstill.
The so-called Atlantic Bubble was set to begin Wednesday morning— allowing for travel between the Atlantic provinces. However, Rankin announced Tuesday afternoon that people coming from New Brunswick would still be subject to isolation requirements based on COVID-19 vaccination status and testing.
Rankin said the move stemmed from New Brunswick’s decision to open up to Canadians with at least one dose of a vaccine last week.
