Nova Scotia Health Authority’s labs completed 1,154 tests on Friday.
The province’s Chief Medical Officer of Health, Dr. Robert Strang says as we see more cases among post-secondary students returning to Nova Scotia, it serves as a reminder of the importance and effectiveness of Nova Scotia’s public health measures. He thanked the students who are completing their self-isolation and taking advantage of the opportunity to get tested which is helping to keep other students, staff and their neighbouring communities safe.
