COVID testing increases outside Halifax area

Nova Scotia Health is offering additional testing in some key areas of concern across the province over the next few days.

Some areas are showing multiple cases with an unknown source, particularly in the Sydney area, Bridgewater area and in the Annapolis Valley from New Minas to Kentville.

Officials say more testing will help Public Health determine where the virus is, as well as, if and how it is spreading.

Testing has been increased in these areas over the next few days. More options will be added, as needed.

Whether you live in an identified area of concern or not, COVID-19 is in our communities and testing is strongly encouraged in all zones.

Testing people who show no symptoms of COVID-19 (asymptomatic testing) continues to be one of the main tools that has helped limit COVID-19 spread in Nova Scotia.

Getting a regular test and following public health guidelines will help efforts to contain the virus.
