The Government of Newfoundland and Labrador has released the province’s reopening plan, Together. Again. The plan outlines the phased approach that the province will take as it starts to lift long-term Public Health measures. Further information, including a copy of the plan, can be found on the website here www.gov.nl.ca/covid-19/together-again/.
All travellers coming to Newfoundland and Labrador are required to fill out a travel form found here. The travel form can only be completed within the three days (72 hours) prior to the travel date. Please submit proof of your COVID-19 vaccination and/or a negative molecular COVID-19 test, such as a PCR test, by uploading it with your form. People who are currently in self-isolation can complete the new form and upload their record to be able to leave isolation as of July 1. Anyone fully vaccinated can leave self-isolation immediately on July 1 without any test requirements after completing the form. Anyone partially vaccinated should book a COVID-19 test as early as July 1. Once they receive a negative result, they can leave self-isolation. If you travelled from within the Atlantic Provinces and are an Atlantic Canadian resident, you will need to complete the travel form but are not required to provide vaccination status.
Please continue following the proven Public Health measures in place to prevent the spread of COVID-19. People are encouraged to download COVID Alert to help reduce the spread of the virus.
