Nova Scotia is reporting seven new cases of COVID-19 and eight recoveries.
Six cases are in Central Zone. Five are close contacts of previously reported cases and one is related to travel.
The other case is in Eastern Zone and is a close contact of a previously reported case.
The close contacts are part of a linked group of families and do not represent wide community spread.
All four health zones continue to be closely monitored for community spread.
“Monday marked one million doses of COVID-19 vaccine administered in our province,” said Premier Iain Rankin. “This was a wonderful milestone, but we are not finished yet. We need to encourage our fellow Nova Scotians to go out and get the vaccine if they haven’t already.”
Nova Scotia has 44 active cases of COVID-19 with two people are in hospital COVID-19 units.
More than one million doses of COVID-19 vaccine have been administered and nearly 300,000 people have received their second dose.
“Most of the cases we are seeing each day are connected to two contained clusters – one in Halifax and one in Glace Bay,” said Dr. Robert Strang, Nova Scotia’s chief medical officer of health. “There is no sign of community spread as a result of these clusters, but they do serve as a reminder of the importance of getting vaccinated as soon as you can. Nova Scotians who are 12 and older can book their COVID-19 vaccine online or by phone.”
