Nova Scotia is reporting one new case of COVID-19 and one recovery.
The case is in Central Zone and is related to travel.
All four health zones continue to be closely monitored for community spread.
“I’m happy to see that we have another day with low case numbers,” said Premier Iain Rankin. “Nova Scotians have worked so hard to get us where we are today. But please don’t become complacent. It’s important we continue to follow public health guidance to ensure we all have a great summer here in our province.”
Nova Scotia has 39 active cases of COVID-19. Of those, two people are in hospital COVID-19 units, including one in ICU.
As of July 8, 1,085,267 doses of COVID-19 vaccine have been administered. Of those, 369,412 Nova Scotians have received their second dose.
“As we open up to the rest of Canada and start expanding our social circles, it’s important to remember that COVID-19 is still among us,” said Dr. Robert Strang, Nova Scotia’s chief medical officer of health. “I encourage all Nova Scotians to get both doses of your vaccine as soon as you can, get tested regularly, continue to keep a physical distance and wear a mask. Doing this will help limit the spread of the virus and allow us to move forward with our reopening plan to have a more normal summer.”
