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.

As of Wednesday, the province is treating the case as a new reported case.

To date, the province has confirmed 1,086 cases and completed 81,092 negative tests for COVID-19.

There have been 65 deaths in Nova Scotia and 1,018 cases are considered resolved.
