Nova Scotia goes into quarantine
The virus is spreading faster than ever, provincial authorities say.
Nova Scotia goes into a 2-week lockdown as authorities are concerned about the rapid spread of COVID-19 in the province.
The lockdown began today, April 28. A day earlier, when Prime Minister Ian Rankin and Dr. Robert Strang, the province's Chief Medical Officer of Health, announced a quarantine, 96 cases of infestation were identified in Nova Scotia.
Schools and secondary businesses (restaurants, gyms, malls, beauty salons, libraries, museums and shops with non-essential goods) will not be open for the next 2 weeks. Delivery, take-away and take-away sales are permitted.
Gathering both indoors and outdoors can only take place within the same household. People who live alone or in tandem with another family member can meet with one or two people from another household, but they must be the same people within 2 weeks.
Events, festivals, religious gatherings, business meetings, weddings and funerals, and group sports are prohibited.
