The province will hold a briefing today with an update on the COVID-19 vaccine program and plans to move to Phase 5 of the reopening plan, as Nova Scotia reported 41 new cases.
Premier Tim Houston, Dr. Robert Strang, the chief medical officer of health, and Health Minister Michelle Thompson will give a live-streamed update beginning at 3 p.m. AT.
The update will be live streamed on CBC Nova Scotia's website.
The province was originally scheduled to move to Phase 5 on Sept. 15, but that date was pushed to Oct. 4 because of an increase in COVID-19 cases.
Phase 5 will see the removal of most COVID-19 public health restrictions, but Strang has said a mask mandate could remain after Oct. 4. Over the past several weeks, provinces that had previously lifted mask mandates have been reinstating them, including New Brunswick.
