Nine new cases of COVID-19 are being reported in Nova Scotia today, April 2.
Five cases are in Western Zone and four cases are in Central Zone. Five of the nine are a group of international travellers. The remaining are domestic travellers from outside Atlantic Canada. They are all self-isolating, as required.
“Our Easter weekend is looking very different than those in other provinces because of our low active case numbers, and today’s cases show our border protocols are working,” said Premier Iain Rankin. “But we have to remain vigilant – including strictly adhering to self-isolation after travel and other public health measures – to remain safe.”
As of today, Nova Scotia has 31 active cases of COVID-19.
There were 1,364 tests administered between March 26 and April 1 at the rapid-testing pop-up sites in Halifax and Dartmouth.
Nova Scotia Health Authority’s labs completed 3,122 Nova Scotia tests on April 1.
As of April 1, 111,403 doses of COVID-19 vaccine have been administered. Of those, 29,530 Nova Scotians have received their second dose.
