Nova Scotia

As we continue to request your patience for minimal case reports this week, let’s get to the day’s numbers. The province is reporting two new COVID-19 cases today: “One case is in Central Zone and is related to travel outside Canada. The other case is in Eastern Zone and is related to travel outside Atlantic […]

As we explained yesterday, with Stephanie Nolen’s Northwood investigation about to be published, his week’s updates about the province’s pandemic numbers are going to be bare-bones. Today is a perfect example, with very little information beyond what the province provides. Nova Scotia is reporting six new C19 cases in its daily press release, for a […]

We need to keep this report short and number-focused today—and for the rest of the week—because we’re working on a huge story about Northwood long-term care facility that comes out Thursday, and it needs all of our attention. If The Coast had a huge staff of reporters and editors like, for example, England’s influential Guardian, […]

Nova Scotia is reporting five new COVID-19 infections in its daily disease update.

Nearly every day so far in April, Nova Scotia’s had more new COVID-19 infections than patients recovering from the disease. There were three new cases last Thursday, for example, and only two people recovered, so the total number of active cases rose by one. Friday brought nine cases and two recoveries, sending the active case […]

Two measly cases. That’s all Nova Scotia is reporting today, the same day loosenings on travel and gathering restrictions came into effect at 8am. And yet, small though that number is, the recovery tally is smaller. Only one person with COVID-19, a patient in the Western health zone, has recovered since yesterday’s report. Thus the […]

Strankin had their regular Tuesday briefing today, and it was full of exciting news that makes it sound like we’re moving back to normal. Starting Wednesday at 8am, Nova Scotia’s lifting any restrictions on visitors from Newfoundland and Labrador, meaning anyone in the Atlantic Bubble can come here without quarantining. Also Wednesday, malls, stores and […]

After four days in a row of more coronavirus infections in Nova Scotia than patients recovering, the humans are fighting back. Today’s daily COVID-19 update is announcing three new cases, but there are five recoveries. This is the first win for the humans in April, and with any luck it won’t be the last. There […]

For the fourth day in a row, Nova Scotia is reporting more fresh infections than patients recovering, adding a hint of dread to the gloomy Sunday weather and making the holiday long weekend feel like it’s dragging on even longer. There are seven new cases in the province, across three health zones, compared to five […]

Even if you have the day off this Friday of the Easter long weekend, COVID-19 doesn’t. The province is announcing nine new infections in today’s C19 report, the most in a day since the 10-case Friday, February 26, which triggered a one-week lockdown.
