HALIFAX – Health officials are urging post-secondary students in the Halifax area to get tested for COVID-19.
Officials say several cases of novel coronavirus have been diagnosed in Halifax’s student population, and they recommend all students should be tested – even if they haven’t travelled, have no symptoms and have not been at a location with an exposure warning.
Drop-in testing begins today and is available all week at Dalhousie University.
