HALIFAX Nova Scotia Public Health officials reported 25 new cases of COVID-19 on Wednesday, including 19 in Central Zone and Premier Iain Rankin is sounding the alarm about community spread as the number of active cases increases to 79. Earlier on Wednesday, Nova Scotia Premier Rankin cancelled the world women s hockey championship, which was scheduled for next month in Halifax and Truro. I am very concerned with the rising number of cases in Nova Scotia, which are higher than we have seen in quite some time, Rankin said. We are seeing early signs of community spread and we must strictly follow all public health protocols to get back on track, especially in the greater Halifax region.
