CANADAHALIFAX news N.S. COVID-19 cases continue to rise, with average of 598 per day by admin 1 أبريل، 2022 written by admin 1 أبريل، 2022 45 In its weekly update, the province reported 10 deaths from March 23-30 CBC News · Nova Scotia reported 10 deaths and 51 people in hospital in its weekly COVID-19 update released Thursday. The update encompasses March 23-30. The province also reported a total of 4,188 positive PCR tests during the same period, an average of 598 new COVID-19 cases per day. This total does not include positive rapid tests. Nova Scotia has lifted nearly all COVID-19 restrictions. Some restrictions remain, including mandatory, seven-day isolation for anyone who tests positive, and mask-wearing at health-care facilities, jails and courts. Students must still wear masks in school for a few more weeks. According to CBC’s tracking of COVID-19 deaths since the Omicron wave began, 131 Nova Scotians have died from COVID-19 since Dec. 8, 2021. So far during the Omicron wave, those who are unvaccinated or have received only one dose of vaccine are three times more likely to die of COVID-19 as compared to someone who has had two doses, and are six times more likely to die as someone who has received a booster dose. Unvaccinated Nova Scotians are about 5½ times more likely to be hospitalized due to COVID-19 than someone with two doses of the COVID-19 vaccine. That figure is based on average hospitalization numbers released from the province from Jan. 4 to March 24. Numbers from Nova Scotia Health, released regularly since January, show there is an increase in the number of staff off work due to COVID-19. On March 31, there were 786 staff off work because they tested positive, were waiting test results or were exposed to a member of their household with COVID-19. At the IWK on March 28, 67 staff were off with COVID-19 and 46 were off isolating. 0 comment 0 FacebookTwitterPinterestEmail admin previous post Canada responds to United Nations after Mi’kmaw treaty fishery complaint next post DFO redistributes quota in baby eel fishery to increase access for Mi’kmaw bands You may also like Man faces long list of charges after standoff... 13 مارس، 2025 استطلاع: 40% من الكنديين يخشون فقدان وظائفهم 13 مارس، 2025 كندا تخفف العقوبات المالية عن سوريا وتندّد بالمجازر... 13 مارس، 2025 ‘Get ready for a wild ride’: Weather Network... 13 مارس، 2025 Clear skies expected in much of Nova Scotia... 13 مارس، 2025 Nova Scotia NDP urging public to weigh in... 13 مارس، 2025 Unsafe tap water is common in Newfoundland.
