In other news, non-residents of P.E.I. can now apply to enter the province as a seasonal resident.
"There will be a phased approach in the review of applications based on the COVID-19 situation of the seasonal resident’s home province. Applications from Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and Newfoundland and Labrador will be first reviewed followed by other provinces and territories based on the COVID-19 risk levels," the government said in a news release.
