The province is not reporting any new cases of COVID-19 today.

There are four active cases in Nova Scotia, with none at any long-term care homes.

The COVID-19 outbreak at Halifax’s Northwood home was considered resolved yesterday after the home went 28 days without any active cases.

Meanwhile, the province has now put up a form on its website for travelers from outside of Atlantic Canada.

This comes after Premier Stephen McNeil announced yesterday people coming from outside the region will have to sign the form that gives health officials contact information so they can make sure self-isolation rules are being followed.

Province Introduces New Tracking Measure

Written by Bobby Nock. Posted in Local News

People entering Nova Scotia from outside the Atlantic Region now have to give the province their contact information.

Premier Stephen McNeil says officials will be calling those people every day to make sure they’re self-isolating for 14 days as required.

He says police will get involved after three missed calls.

The measure comes after the province reported its latest case of COVID-19 involving a man who failed to self-isolate when he landed in Halifax after flying from the US through Toronto.

McNeil says he shares peoples’ frustrations with reports of people who don’t self-isolate when they’re required to do so.

There’s now a total of four reported active cases of COVID-19 in Nova Scotia.
