Advocates are raising concerns about the conditions at Nova Scotia s secure treatment facility for youth in care, after a positive case of COVID-19 was detected among staff and the facility was placed into lockdown.
The Department of Community Services confirmed that a person connected to the Wood Street Centre who was last on site on April 27 has tested positive for COVID-19. All staff and youth at the Truro facility were subsequently tested for the virus, and youth have been confined to their rooms.
