Seventeen new cases of COVID-19 have been identified in Nova Scotia, bringing the province’s total to 90. In a news release Friday, the province said “most” of the new cases are connected to travel or a known case.
The 90 individuals affected range in age from under 10 to their mid-70s. Health officials say two are currently in hospital and three individuals have recovered and their cases of COVID-19 are considered resolved.
Cases have been identified in all parts of the province. On Thursday, Strang said a St. Patrick’s Day party with about 50 people may have been where someone contracted COVID-19 earlier this month.
