HALIFAX—The four Atlantic provinces have announced plans to ease interprovincial travel restrictions, creating a so-called “bubble'' as the region has reported relatively few new COVID-19 infections in recent weeks.

As of July 3, residents of Atlantic Canada will be allowed to travel within the region without having to self-isolate for two weeks when arriving in another province.
