Travel restrictions for Nova Scotia are being put back in place. @HaliJohnMcPhee has you covered for updates from the COVID-19 briefing happening now:
Nova Scotia has identified two COVID-19 cases connected to schools in the central zone.
- One at Dartmouth South Academy elementary.
- One at Auburn Drive High.
The schools are to remain closed until Monday.
The two cases were determined after the cut-off for reporting, so were not included in today's numbers, Public Health says.
