Travellers from other Atlantic provinces who aren't vaccinated will have to participate in a "shortened isolation," though details on how long that will be won't be coming until June.

"Individuals will be required to complete a self-declaration form," Dr. Heather Morrison, PEI's chief public health officer, said at a press conference. "People travelling within Atlantic Canada who are fully or partially vaccinated will be required to test, but will not need to self-isolate."

Morrison said the rules applied to people leaving PEI and coming back as well as visitors from elsewhere in Atlantic Canada.
