There is 1 new case in the Atlantic Bubble today. New Brunswick's newest case of COVID-19 is a temporary foreign worker in their 20s in the Moncton region who had been self-isolating. This is the case that was reported yesterday after my update. This means there are 9 active cases in PEI, 2 in NS, 3 in NB and 1 in NFLD, none known to be related to the Atlantic Bubble itself. In NS, 53/63 (84%) NS deaths are from Northwood and 57/63 (90%) are from long term care in general (11 different facilities have reported cases, none have an active case). NS is now at 40 days without a death. Yesterday, 499 tests were completed with 0 new cases reported. NS officially has no one in hospital related to COVID-19, meaning there is no one in the hospital in the Atlantic bubble, great news! NS is also approaching 2 months since there was more than 2 new cases reported in a single day (all but 2 of those nearly 60 days were 1 or 0 new cases).

From the Press Release:
N/A - note the new hospitalization reported yesterday is now showing as discharged. I suspect they were hospitalized for something unrelated to COVID-19, were tested as a pre-caution and happened to come back positive. That is speculatory but is my hypothesis.

- NS has 63 deaths, making the death rate 63/1M population
- NB has 2 deaths, their rate is 2.5/1M
- PEI has 0 deaths
- NFLD has 3 deaths, their rate is 5.75/1M
- Canada's rate sitting at 234/1M
- Global rate is 75.4/1M
- US rate is 419/1M
- Austria rate is 80/1M
- Spain is 605/1M
- Sweden is 545/1M
