The Nova Scotia Health Authority, much like surrounding provinces, predicts coronavirus’ peak to be in late April. Due to increased odds of community spread, this date chiefly affects highly-populated areas, mainly Halifax. As of April 7, 2020, 310 people have tested positive for COVID-19 in Nova Scotia. Less than three percent of all tests, however, returned positive. Thus, there’s growing hope that summer’s arrival will be a new beginning, of sorts, for the province, as life gradually returns to normalcy. Safe travel, post-coronavirus, will be of utmost importance for all, especially as hundreds of thousands of people seek momentary refuge from the city. One of those safe refuges is the Cabot Trail, primarily Keltic Lodge at the Highlands.
Safe Travel to Keltic Lodge
As we inch closer to our long-awaited opening day (June 1, 2020), we continue to diligently monitor the situation while also enhancing our already-stellar cleansing techniques. Safe travel to and from Keltic Lodge at the Highlands is as innate as an Atlantic Ocean sunrise, as our location on Cape Breton Island naturally fosters social distancing through the art of hiking, golf, picnicking, sailing, swimming, and cycling. Families, couples, and even small groups are urged to head north to the Cabot Trail en route to something special—something remote, wide-open, and undeniably beautiful. Because now, more than ever, Nova Scotians need a getaway that’s equally rejuvenating, indulgent, adventurous, and relaxing.
