Where to get a COVID test this weekend
What else do you have to do during the lockdown?
With 150 active COVID-19 cases today in Nova Scotia, the third wave of the pandemic is officially here. Halifax's lockdown started this morning, in an effort to curb community transmission. But Haligonians are also asked to help root out the virus by getting COVID-19 testing: Public health wants you to get your nose swabbed whether or not you have any C19 symptoms.
Yesterday, the Halifax Convention Centre tested 1,625 people, a record for single-day testing. The line was long (about 40 minutes), cold and windy, but Haligonians were doing their part to stop the virus in its tracks. Here's where to get tested Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
