The province is announcing two new COVID-19 infections in its daily pandemic update. “The cases are both in the Central Zone,” the province says. “One is related to travel and the other is under investigation.” A case under investigation is always a drag. Also a drag in this report, a person with C19 had to […]

It’s the weekend, so we’ll start the day with a journalistic sort of brunch—eating our words. In yesterday’s report, we said that the province “has been horrible at providing follow-up information” when it comes to “probable” cases, those that aren’t conclusively positive or negative. It came up because there was a probable case at Sackville […]

It’s a complicated day for coronavirus counting. The province is reporting five new COVID-19 infections in its routine daily update to media, but one of those is the Millwood High School case announced yesterday. We counted it yesterday in our numbers (like the map at the top of the page and the table below), but […]

Every day the province releases the latest COVID-19 data, and every day that information is already late. That’s because the numbers that come out today reflect everything that happened yesterday: the newly diagnosed cases, the patients who recovered from the disease, vaccinations, all of it.

For a day with five new infections, which is on the high side for the last couple of weeks, Wednesday is pretty unexciting as far as COVID-19 spread goes. And that’s a very good thing. “The cases are in Central Zone,” says the province’s March 24 update to media. “Three of the cases are close […]

The patient lives in the Sydney, Cape Breton area. “The case is in Eastern Zone and is related to travel outside Atlantic Canada,” says the province’s Tuesday press release report. For a more focused location than the entire Eastern health zone, our table below, which pulls […]

The official case report today from the province is short and, for a pandemic, sweet. There are two new COVID-19 infections in Nova Scotia. “The cases are in Central Zone and are all close contacts of previously reported cases,” says the report. Our table locates both of the new patients in the Dartmouth community health […]

Nova Scotia is reporting six new COVID-19 infections on this good news/bad news Sunday. The bad news starts with those six fresh cases. It’s been more than two weeks since the province has seen so many cases in a day, dating back to the six cases on Saturday, March 6. “Four of the cases are […]

Today the Nova Scotia Health Authority released one of its standard warnings about “potential exposure to COVID-19” at several stores around the Halifax Regional Municipality. We’re not going to get into the specifics here—the best, most reliable source of details is the authority’s database of potential exposures—but on top of possible risk in Clayton Park […]

Nova Scotia is reporting three new infections today. “The cases are in Central Zone and are all close contacts of previously reported cases,” says the province’s daily COVID-19 media update. They’re all in the Dartmouth community health network, says our table at the bottom of this story, which analyses provincial data. With three patients recovering […]
