Nova Scotia is reporting 41 new cases of COVID-19 and 21 recoveries.
There are 32 cases in the Halifax area, four cases in Northern Zone, three cases in Eastern Zone and two cases in Western Zone.
There is community spread in the HRM region, primarily among people aged 20 to 40 who are unvaccinated and participating in social activities.
On September 28, three schools were notified of an exposure(s) at their school.
It is important to note that an exposure associated with a school does not mean there is spread within the school or that the initial case was first exposed to the virus in the school. As always, all staff, parents and guardians are notified of exposures if a positive case (student, teacher or staff) was at the school while infectious.
A list of schools with exposures is available now online.
Nova Scotia has 224 active cases of COVID-19. Of those, 12 people are in hospital, including two in ICU.
