Nova Scotia says two more residents have died due to COVID-19.
Both deaths were women who lived in the central zone, one in her 70s and one in her 90s.
“We have lost two more Nova Scotians to this virus, and I offer my deepest condolences to the families and loved ones grieving,” said Premier Tim Houston. “As we move towards living with COVID, it is important Nova Scotians continue to use the tools we followed over the last two years that will limit the spread of this virus and protect those around us who are more vulnerable to severe disease. This includes wearing a mask in indoor public places, staying home and getting tested when you’re sick, and following public health advice.”
No new cases or discharges were included in today’s figures. Currently there are 48 people being treated for COVID-19 in hospitals across the province including 11 in ICUs.
The median age of those being treated in hospitals is 62 and the median duration of their stays is six and half days.
