“Nova Scotians are eager to get back to doing the things they love,” said Premier Iain Rankin. “The quickest way to do this is by following the public health measures, getting tested regularly, and booking your COVID-19 vaccine appointment when it is your turn. Together we can slow the spread of the virus.”
Nova Scotia has 787 active cases of COVID-19. There are 72 people in hospital, including 19 in intensive care. The median age of people hospitalized in the third wave is 52 for non-ICU, and 58 for people in ICU.
“I am pleased to see that our vaccine rollout is ahead of schedule. When the opportunity comes, please do your part by booking your appointment,” said Dr. Robert Strang, Nova Scotia’s chief medical officer of health. “The sooner we get to population immunity, the sooner we get to our new normal.”
