If the mayors have their request approved, anyone coming back to Labrador from Newfoundland would have to isolate themselves for two weeks. Barron said it might seem severe, but they feel it s vital to contain any potential spread. It s unfortunate what s happening here. Would you want to be the one that s gonna travel possibly to the Eastern region … and come in here, unknowingly carrying COVID and bring it to your loved ones or your community? Your friends? Would you want to be the one that s known for that? I wouldn t want to, Barron said. All you re doing is safeguarding your friends and your family and our communities.
