of the virus at two.

The province also announced it is easing self-isolation requirements for out-of-province rotational workers when they return to Nova Scotia. Rotational workers do not have to maintain physical distance from those in their household unless they become unwell. They can also spend time outside on the property, go for a drive, run, hike, bike or ATV ride for exercise and recreation. They can also visit a park, beach or other outdoor public space. However they must wear a mask if they encounter people outside their household and maintain a physical distance of two metres. They can also drop off family members at school, work or recreational activities, but they must not leave the car.
