As part of new coronavirus protocols, Nova Scotia is restricting those who’ve gone outside of Canada in the last 14 days from entering long-term care homes.
Initially, people returning from certain affected areas were asked to stay away, but it’s now thought anyone who’s left the country could have been exposed to the virus.
Chief Medical Officer of Health, Dr. Robert Strang, says if after that two-week period they develop a fever or a new cough they are to phone 811 for assessment.
If you’re just looking for general information about COVID-19, you should go to the government website or call the toll-free line at 1-833-784-4397.
There have been no confirmed cases of the virus in the province at this time.
