N.S. to hold COVID-19 briefing at 3 p.m. as province reports 41 new cases - CBC.ca

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.

41 new cases

Nova Scotia reported 41 new cases on Wednesday, bringing the total known active caseload to 224.

Thirty-two of the new cases are in the central zone, four are in the northern zone, three are in the eastern zone and two are in the western zone.

There are now 12 people in hospital with COVID-19, including two in intensive care.

As of Wednesday, 74.6 per cent of Nova Scotians have received two vaccinations. 

Labs in the province completed processing 5,720 COVID-19 tests on Tuesday.

Three schools were notified Tuesday of an exposure, including Ecole Mer et Monde in Halifax, Halifax West High School and Duc d'Anville Elementary School. The province is maintaining a list of all schools that have a COVID-19 case connected to them.
