“This is to get at what we were seeing happen in various places around the province,” Henry said.
The responsibility of enforcing the rules fall on the rental owner. It is up to them to collect contact information if case tracing is necessary.
Travel around the province is allowed, however many may be weary about taking a flight, as there have been several risks of exposure.
