The Nova Scotia government has announced travellers from New Brunswick will continue to have to self-isolate upon arrival, even after Nova Scotia opens its borders with P.E.I. and Newfoundland and Labrador starting Wednesday morning.

A cybersecurity expert in New Brunswick is warning that uploading personal documents online to apply for a P.E.I. Pass is putting people's personal information at risk.

Applications for the pass opened last week for residents of the region who are at least partially vaccinated against COVID-19 — and demand has been high.

The province streamlined how Island residents can apply for the P.E.I. Pass, making changes on Monday to include an option for Island residents to allow public health officials to verify their proof of vaccination.
