Nova Scotia is reporting no new cases of COVID-19 on Sunday for the fourth day in a row. Two active cases remain in the province.
Residents of long-term care facilities in Nova Scotia will soon be allowed to enjoy visits with more of their loved ones and the resumption of some activities.
“COVID-19 has been difficult for all of us, but I think it’s especially true for those who live and work in our long-term care facilities, as well as their loved ones and families,” said Chief Medical Officer of Health Dr. Robert Strang. Residents and staff can gather in groups of 10 or less for dining, recreation, or socializing without physical distancing. Groups should remain consistent and visitors cannot join.
“The evidence on non-medical masks have evolved throughout the pandemic and our public health direction is evolving along with that,” said Strang. Children under the age of two, and people with a valid medical reason for not wearing a mask, are exempt.
