Nova Scotia raises its infection record with 63 new cases April 25
Halifax stays in COVID-19 lockdown while the rest of the province gets more restrictions on Sunday.
Three days into the circuit breaker lockdown of Halifax and surrounding areas, this stupid disease s circuits don t seem broken at all. Sure, chief medical officer of health Robert Strang has been warning us that case numbers would probably keep rising even after human movement got curtailed, but it still sucks to see the virus setting records for growth.
The province is reporting 63 new cases of COVID-19 today, the highest one-day total Nova Scotia has ever had. Only one patient has recovered since yesterday, so the new infections drive the number of active cases up to 263.
