COVID-19 in the Edmundston, N.B., area is brought under control.The travel bubble concept was used last summer when coronavirus case counts in all four Atlantic provinces were considered low.
Residents of New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Newfoundland and Labrador and Prince Edward Island were allowed to travel freely between provinces without being required to self-isolate.It lasted about five months until case counts, particularly in New Brunswick, began to climb in November.Atlantic premiers had previously set a target date of April 19 to re-engage the Atlantic bubble, but that was before an outbreak in and around the city of Edmundston.
