Nova Scotia is reporting 61 new cases of COVID-19 and 31 recoveries. The province has 200 active cases of COVID-19. Thirteen people are in hospital, including four in ICU.
Thirty-three cases are being reported in Northern Zone, 24 cases in Central Zone and four cases in Western Zone.
“There is a new cluster of cases in a localized community in Northern Zone and there is also evidence of limited community spread in Halifax and parts of northern Nova Scotia.” the Province said in a release.
“While there is a low level of ongoing community transmission in the northern part of Nova Scotia, the higher case numbers we’re seeing in the area yesterday and today are associated with a cluster of cases in a defined group of largely unvaccinated individuals,” said Dr. Robert Strang, Nova Scotia’s Chief Medical Officer of Health. “They are co-operating with local public health and the cases appear to be contained within this group.”
There are no new cases at the East Cumberland Lodge long-term care home in Pugwash.
