Northwood nursing home is witnessing a spike in novel coronavirus infections as the nursing home now has 31 residents who have tested positive for COVID-19, the home said on Tuesday.

In addition, four home support workers and two health services staff have tested positive for the virus. The new cases come after the long-term care home reported Monday that 16 residents and 10 Halifax campus staff had contracted the virus.

The nursing home said it has 485 individuals living in its Halifax campus long-term care facility in two separate buildings, which according to Northwood gives it a “unique position” to be doing its own testing for residents and staff.
