As long as case counts remain low and vaccination rates stay on track, the province will be opening to the rest of Canada by July 1st.
That means a whole new swath of travellers entering Newfoundland and Labrador but how restricted travellers are will depend on their vaccine status.
For those who are fully vaccinated, meaning it has been at least one week since their second shot, as of Canada Day travel is permitted from across the country without testing or isolation requirements.
For those partially vaccinated, meaning it has been two weeks since their first dose, the easing of restrictions will be more gradual. In step one, they must present a negative rapid test administered within three days of departure, or self-isolate until receiving a negative result. As of step two, those testing and isolation requirements will be lifted.
Unvaccinated Canadians, however, will have to isolate for a full 14 days under step 1. In step 2 they can avail of a test on day 7, 8, or 9, but must isolate until receipt of a negative result. And under step 3 they have to isolate until getting a negative test result but do not have to wait until day 7 to get one. Anyone travelling with someone who is unvaccinated must follow these guidelines as well, despite being vaccinated themselves.
Rotational workers will follow the same guidelines as the rest of the population, with the exception being those who have been vaccinated coming from outbreak sites. In step one, those workers are tested upon arrival and must isolate until they get their result. The same goes for steps 2 and 3, except they do not have to isolate after being tested.
Unvaccinated children under the age of 12 must follow the guidelines applicable to their parents’ vaccination status.
Meanwhile, with the province preparing to begin reopening to the rest of Canada, many are wondering when the province may move to Alert Level 1 status. However, according to the province’s Chief Medical Officer of Health, that move is not coming in the near future.
Dr. Janice Fitzgerald calls the reopening plan the path to get the province to the lowest alert level, but there are a lot of countries around the world who are “not there yet.”
According to Dr. Fitzgerald, it’s important to make sure the rest of the world is adequately vaccinated because “if one of us is not safe then none of us are safe.”
She says as vaccinations continue worldwide and this province reaches 80 per cent with two doses, then level one can be reached.
