Travel restrictions are expected to be announced today, as Health Minister iterates Newfoundland and Labrador is not yet past COVID-19.
Health Minister John Haggie says today’s confirmed case is a reminder that we are not yet past the spread of COVID-19.
Minister Haggie issued a reminder about restrictions on travel into the province that will be imposed today, Monday, May 4.
Officials were shocked to learn this week that visitors from outside the province had arrived Bonavista to see the sights.
Haggie says today those who are not permanent residents of the province will not be allowed in.
He warns those with seasonal homes or who are planning a vacation or a get together here,”this is not the year for you.”
Some exceptions will be allowed by the Chief Medical Officer of Health – including those arriving for compassionate reasons and essential workers who have been previously approved and are meeting other public health requirements.
