by The province is bringing in a broad testing strategy for people who go to or work in late-night bars and restaurants in the Halifax Regional Municipality.
Anyone who works in a licensed establishment or went to a bar or restaurant in the Halifax Region after 10:00 at night in the last two weeks is being told to book a COVID-19 test.
Even people who don’t have symptoms are being told to book a test.
Chief medical officer of health Dr. Robert Strang says the broad testing initiative will help them detect new cases early and get people who test positive to self-isolate.
The testing will be available until Monday.
