The Department of Health and Wellness is reporting two new cases of COVID-19 and seven recoveries.
The two cases are in Central Zone and both are close contacts of previously reported cases.
There is limited community spread in Central Zone. Eastern, Northern and Western Zones continue to be closely monitored for community spread.
“This is the lowest case number we’ve seen in some time,” said Premier Iain Rankin. “Thank you to all Nova Scotians for helping us bring the case numbers down and the vaccination rate up. This is how we take care of each other and what allows us to continue reopening our province.”
As of today, Nova Scotia has 83 active cases of COVID-19. Of those, six people are in hospital COVID-19 units, including three in ICU. The median age of people hospitalized in the third wave is 52 for non-ICU and 55 for people in ICU.
