COVID-19
Nova Scotia is reporting one new case of COVID-19 on Monday, March 1.
The case is in Central Zone and is a close contact of a previously reported case.
The province now has 35 active cases of COVID-19. Meantime, Nova Scotia Health Authority labs completed 3,931 tests on Sunday.
“A record number of Nova Scotians took advantage of COVID-19 testing over the weekend. Thank you for that,” said Premier Iain Rankin. “It’s a great response but it doesn’t mean we can let down our guard. Testing is just one part of our multi-layer response to the virus. So, continue to follow all the public health measures, including keeping your social circles small and consistent.”
Nearly 33,000 doses of COVID-19 vaccine have been administered in Nova Scotia with roughly 13,000 having received their second dose.
