In a press release, Premier Stephen McNeil said “we have removed travel from the screening criteria for COVID-19 and increased our lab capacity so that we’re now processing close to a thousand tests every day.”
McNeil went on to thank the lab and all the staff who are working around the clock to catch cases of COVID-19 and helping to keep all Nova Scotians safe from this disease.
Nova Scotia has 13,014 negative test results and 93 individuals have now recovered and their cases of COVID-19 are considered resolved.
