3 active cases of COVID-19 remain in Nova Scotia

Nova Scotia health officials are reporting no new cases of the coronavirus on Wednesday.

There are currently three active cases in the province.

The most recent case reported on Monday was a home care nurse in the central zone, said top doctor Robert Strang in a Wednesday COVID-19 provincial update.

Strang said the individual previously had COVID-19 and recovered months ago.

The person’s new test results were inconclusive, so provincial and national testing labs are working to determine whether it’s a case of reinfection.
