Nova Scotia is reporting one death related to COVID-19. It’s the 100th person to pass away to die the virus since the beginning on the pandemic in our province.
Public health indicates the latest death is a woman in her 70s from the western health zone.
“I’m very saddened to hear another family has lost a loved one,” said Premier Tim Houston. “This is a stark reminder of how serious this virus is. I know we have been at this for a long time and people are getting tired, but we cannot be complacent.”
Nova Scotia is also reporting seven new cases of COVID-19 and 24 recoveries.
The seven cases are in the Halifax area.
“My prayers and condolences are with the family and loved ones of the woman who has passed,” said Dr. Robert Strang, Nova Scotia’s Chief Medical Officer of Health. “The vaccine can help prevent serious illness, hospitalization and death. Do your part and get vaccinated if you haven’t done so already to protect yourselves and the people around you.”
