Prince Edward Island has extended its state of emergency, while announcing new rules to allow people with seasonal cottages to head to the Island.King also announced that people wanting to travel to seasonal residences will have to submit an application beginning June 1, and those will be put through a risk assessment before approval.He says the assessment will consider the location applicants are travelling from and the state of COVID-19 infection in that area.

King says as an added layer of safety, seasonal residents will be tested for COVID-19 before the completion of their self-isolation.
