If travel to those cities is required, Newfoundlanders and Labradorians should follow all public health guidelines in effect in New Brunswick, said the Department of Health media release on Sunday.

Travellers returning to Newfoundland and Labrador from those areas should self monitor for symptoms of COVID-19 for the first 14 days after arrival, and contact 811 to arrange testing if symptoms develop. They should also not attend large gatherings for the first two weeks, and follow public health guidelines in place for Newfoundland and Labrador.
"Based on the current situation in these regions and the information available to public health officials in Newfoundland and Labrador, this extra level of caution is appropriate," said the health department.
"While travel within the Atlantic bubble is permitted, this guidance is being issued by the Chief Medical Officer of Health out of an abundance of caution. Newfoundland and Labrador remains part of the Atlantic bubble and there is no evidence to support leaving the bubble at this time."
