Sunday, December 27 click to enlarge The Coast Sundays are generally quiet. Sundays of a holiday weekend should be especially so. And yet here we are, oddly busy with three new cases of COVID-19. All are linked to close contacts or travel outside of Atlantic Canada, says the province, which is some sort of consolation. No immediate threat of uncontrolled community spread is always consolation.

Two new cases of COVID-19 have been reported in Nova Scotia.
One new case is in the northern zone and is related to travel outside of Atlantic Canada. The person is self-isolating as required. The other case is in the central zone and is still under investigation.
HALIFAX Nova Scotia has announced two new COVID-19 cases on Sunday, and a drop in the total number of active cases in the province to 41. According to the province’s website, 1,339 previously reported cases are now considered resolved. “It is encouraging to see low case numbers as we start a new phase of guidelines and restrictions tomorrow,” said Premier Stephen McNeil. “We can do our part to contain the virus by following these protocols that are designed to keep our social gatherings small and our communities safe.” On Sunday, the province announced that one of new cases is in the Northern Zone, which is related to travel outside of Atlantic Canada; the individual is self-isolating. Meanwhile, the other case is in the Central Zone and is under investigation.

The easing of some pandemic restrictions announced Wednesday means big changes for some Nova Scotia businesses as they prepare to reopen, and disappointment for others whose doors will stay closed into the new year.
At the Stubborn Goat Gastropub in Halifax, the business model has switched to takeout and delivery.
The downtown eatery made the change when the provincial government announced Nov. 24 that restaurants and pubs in the Halifax area and parts of Hants County would have to close to in-person dining as COVID-19 cases started ramping up.
HALIFAX Nova Scotia’s latest COVID-19 restrictions have some Halifax restaurant owners asking questions. When Nova Scotia announced the latest round of COVID-19 restrictions on Wednesday, restaurant owner Joel Chiasson said he felt discouraged. “It feels like a big injustice,” said Chiasson. “There are a lot of things that you can do now, and one of the only things you can’t do is sit down at a table with your grandmother at a restaurant. The new restrictions require restaurants in parts of the Halifax Regional Municipality and Hants County to remain closed for in-person dining until at least Jan. 11. They can still offer takeout and delivery.
