The Canadian government has temporarily closed the border for non-essential travel. Please check www.travel.gc.ca and https://www.canada.ca/en/public-health/services/diseases/2019-novel-coronavirus-infection/canadas-reponse.html for the most up to date information. Due to the uncertainty and quick moving nature of the COVID-19 crisis, please note that international travel bans published by the government may change as the situation requires. Tourism Nova Scotia will relay any change in travel restriction as soon as the information becomes available.
The Province of Nova Scotia has declared a state of emergency. Nova Scotia borders have tightened to travellers and all entry points (land, sea, air) are being closely managed. Anyone entering the province must self-isolate for 14 days. Social gatherings of more than five people are not permitted. Outside of any previously identified required closures (campgrounds, dine-in restaurants, gyms, salons, etc.) businesses may remain open if a two-meter or six-foot distance can be maintained (social distancing). Workspaces must also be cleaned and disinfected at a minimum of twice daily, or as required, and employees must follow proper hygiene.
The Province of Nova Scotia has launched an Employer Assessment Tool to help businesses and organizations understand if they should remain open and how to keep employees and customers safe. See https://covid19-employer-assessment.novascotia.ca/en
Public health and safety is our top concern. We are in close communication with Destination Canada, our in-market representatives, and industry partners to ensure a coordinated response to tourism impacts. We are following the lead of public health experts and making adjustments to our marketing strategies and programming as required. We are gathering information from tourism industry partners and public health officials on new developments as they relate to the tourism sector. We are committed to keeping industry and travellers updated as new information becomes available.
