Rotational Workers Directive for Vaccination, COVID-19 Testing & Isolation
Definition of Rotational Worker:
A rotational worker is a resident of New Brunswick who has a set schedule where they alternate between living in New
Brunswick and living and working outside the province, such as an Alberta oil worker.
This directive only applies to rotational workers who travel to another province or territory in Canada (outside New Brunswick) to work. This does not apply to people who travel out of the province for work on occasion, for example, to attend a business meeting outside of New Brunswick once a month.
Effective March 26, 11:59 pm rotational workers who are at least 14 days post-vaccination no longer need to self-isolate upon return to New Brunswick and are free to move around as other New Brunswickers. Until we vaccinate more of the New Brunswick population, at this time, vaccinated rotational workers must also be tested for COVID-19 on day 5 and day 10 on each return to New Brunswick.
These guidelines do not apply to rotational workers who work outside of Canada. These workers must follow federal isolation and testing requirements in the Quarantine Act.
