Staff Reporter / Sunday, April 25, 2021 / Categories: News NS COVID Count Makes Record Leap LIVE UPDATE SET FOR 3:30 PM Nova Scotia today suffered its highest daily COVID count since the coronavirus pandemic began more than a year ago. NS Health reported 63 positive infections following yesterday’s testing. That results in a dramatic surge of active cases, currently 263 across the province. The central Zone continues the hardest hit with 57 of the new cases. None of the other provincial zones was exempt, as Eastern Zone counted three, Western Zone two, and our Northern Zone reported a single case. The sudden rise has prompted Premier Iain Rankin and Dr. Robert Strang to schedule a live press briefing this afternoon at 3:30. Add your comments below.
