Working outside the province (domestic rotational workers)

Individuals who live in Nova Scotia and travel to work in another Canadian province or territory on a regular schedule (like Alberta oil workers) must self-isolate for the period of time they’re in the province (up to 14 days). Domestic rotational workers need to follow the Health Protection Act Order and the Directive Under the Authority of the Chief Medical Officer of Health – COVID-19 Exceptions for Domestic Rotational Workers (PDF 483 KB).

Domestic rotational workers can:

interact with people who live in their household, including children under a joint custody order or agreement who visit or live part-time in the household, without physical distancing, unless rotational workers become unwell (household members don’t need to self-isolate unless they become unwell)
spend time outside on their own property
go for a drive
go for a walk, run, hike, bike or ATV ride off their property (if they encounter people from outside their household they must wear a mask and maintain a distance of 2 metres)
visit a park, beach, or other outdoor public space (if they encounter people from outside their household they must wear a mask and maintain a distance of 2 metres)
spend time at their cabin or vacation home (or a rental location) in Nova Scotia, following the same rules they would at home
drop off and pick up household members at school, work or recreational activities without getting out of their vehicle
use no-contact pickup options for groceries or other items purchased online without getting out of their vehicle
visit a drive-in theatre without getting out of their vehicle
go through a drive-through, like at a restaurant or bank
attend necessary (urgent and routine) medical appointments – this includes appointments with physicians and nurse practitioners, dentists, optometrists and other regulated health professionals where in-person treatment is required
