“Nova Scotians have done the hard work to bring down transmission of COVID-19 in our communities, which is why we are able to start enjoying patios, get a haircut and spend time with loved ones outside,” said Premier Iain Rankin. “We still need to be cautious. Remember to continue to follow the public health measures and make regular testing part of your routine if you are socializing.”
