You can also call 811 if you don’t have online access or if you have other symptoms that concern you.

Please remember:

To self-isolate until you receive 811 advice on next steps.

Currently, anyone travelling to Nova Scotia from outside of the Atlantic Provinces is expected to self-isolate alone for 14 days after arriving. Effective Nov. 9, if a person travelling for non-essential reasons enters Nova Scotia from outside Atlantic Canada, then everyone in the home where they are self-isolating will have to self-isolate as well.
