A Halifax parent who initially tested negative for COVID-19, but then developed symptoms and tested positive several days later, is warning Nova Scotians to be extra vigilant as the third wave grips the province.
Erin Hancock, a single parent of a two-year-old daughter, said she's followed public health rules and played it safe for more than a year, and she still got sick.
"Don't lean into a false sense of security," she said. "The first and the second wave are nothing like what we're dealing with now."
