HALIFAX -- Nova Scotia is reporting no new cases of COVID-19 on Sunday and one of the two active cases in the province is now considered resolved.

The QEII Health Sciences Centre’s microbiology lab completed 387 COVID-19 tests on Saturday and continues to operate 24 hours a day.

To date, Nova Scotia has completed 66,114 negative COVID-19 test results, with 1,071 positive case, and 64 deaths related to the virus.

On Saturday, Nova Scotia also announced they will be renewing their state of emergency. The order is now extended to August 23 unless government terminates or extends it.

SYMPTOMS AND SELF-ISOLATION

Anyone who tests positive for COVID-19 is required to self-isolate at home, away from the public, for 14 days.
