Some people may not have to stay in an isolation hotel when arriving in New Brunswick after all.
New rules which came into effect on April 24 require leisure travellers, business travellers, and people moving here to stay in an isolation hotel for at least seven days.
But over the weekend, health officials said there may be individual cases where people can stay in alternate locations, such as a stand-alone residence.
“That will be determined on a case-by-case basis, while ensuring any designated isolation site still meets the need to keep New Brunswickers safe,” the government said in a news release Saturday.
Those who are approved to stay at an alternate location will face enhanced compliance checks.
Anyone found to be non-compliant will have to stay in a designated isolation hotel and will face fines.
Travellers with questions on whether they have a situation that may qualify are asked to email TravelRegistration.EnregistrementVoyage@gnb.ca.
