I'm on lunch break so I'll live-tweet today's NS covid-19 briefing that started six minutes ago at 1:30 as advertised.
Strang walked out. With a grim expression he noted that because of non-compliance with public health measures, they're bringing back the gallows on the waterfront.
McNeil is wearing a a military uniform with a sash for some reason. He's now demanding to be called 'The General'.
Strang intersects to say that the Yarmouth ferry will be used for central quarantine. McNeil grimaced at its mention.
Whoa, wild. Strang says they have a new covid test based on the balance of your humors. He adds that it doesn't work but that there's enough for everyone.
They're starting for real (or are they?!?) so I'll stop.

The two cases in Nova Scotia are both related to a previous case. Public Health has just revealed that both of the new cases are students (one at Graham Creighton Junior High and Auburn Drive High.

The two schools are within walking distance of each other, which makes me think that they're part of a household with an existing case, but that's just me speculating.
