MOST EASTERNERS OPPOSE LIFTING TRAVEL RESTRICTIONS

A new survey indicates Atlantic Canada is largely opposed to lifting travel restrictions for Canadians who live outside the region. More than 3,300 Atlantic Canadians participated in the Narrative Research online survey between Aug. 5-9. The results, published Thursday, indicate more than three-quarters of respondents were opposed to lifting 14-day quarantine requirements for visitors from the rest of Canada within the next month. COVID-19 numbers have remained low across the four provinces this summer.
