UPDATE – CPHO Interprovincial Travel Recommendations

COVID-19 Update(1)

Teams travelling off-Island or to PEI for sports tournaments and competitions

Interprovincial travel is higher risk, however, borders between the Atlantic Provinces remain open at this time.  The decision to travel for interprovincial tournaments and competitions is at the discretion of individual sport associations.  If travelling, the following testing precautions are recommended:

  • All PEI participants and travellers in a tournament/competition who are not fully vaccinated should have a negative test prior to leaving PEI
  • All NB, NS, and NL participants and travellers coming to PEI and who are not fully vaccinated should be tested upon arrival in PEI
  • All PEI, NB, NS, and NL participants and travellers age 12 and older who are unvaccinated (not partially or fully vaccinated) will have to isolate for 8 days upon arrival in PEI (as per normal travel measures)
  • All PEI participants and travellers age 12 and older who are partially or fully vaccinated should get tested when they arrive back in PEI before going to school, and again on days 4 and 8
  • All PEI participants and travellers age 11 or under should get tested when they arrive back in PEI before going to school, and again on days 4 and 8

 

Testing is available at drop-in clinics in Charlottetown, Summerside, Borden, Montague, and O’Leary.  Individuals can request rapid tests at these sites if desired (for example if they have to get a test before leaving for a tournament and need a rapid response).  More information on testing is available here: https://www.princeedwardisland.ca/en/information/health-and-wellness/covid-19-testing-in-pei
