Nova Scotia is reporting 90 new cases of COVID-19 and 180 recoveries.
There are 64 cases in the Halifax region.
“I am pleased that the number of recoveries remains substantially higher than the number of new cases,” said Premier Iain Rankin. “If we continue to follow public health restrictions, we will get through this third wave together.”
Hospitalizations continue to be an area of concern as there are 103 people in hospital and 25 in intensive care.
As of Monday, more than 436,000 doses of COVID-19 vaccine have been administered with nearly 40,000 having received their second dose.
“Over 70,000 Nova Scotians are scheduled to receive their vaccine this week,” said Dr. Robert Strang, Nova Scotia’s chief medical officer of health. “When you are eligible to book your vaccine, please do so, and when you get your first dose, encourage your friends and family to get theirs, too. Let’s be a part of the way forward.”
Nova Scotia has 1,345 active cases of COVID-19.
