Nova Scotia health officials are reporting zero new COVID-19 cases in the province for the third day in a row.
Since Monday, only two new cases have been reported as eight cases remain active.
The last time Nova Scotia had single-digit active cases was on Feb. 14, when it reported 9 new cases.
“Another day with no new cases is wonderful news,” said Premier Iain Rankin in a news release. “We’ve worked so hard to crush the third wave and get to a point where we are reporting no new cases, let’s keep up the good work.”
Two people are currently in hospital, one of which is in intensive care. The province says 2,626 tests for the virus were completed on Thursday.
As of Thursday, there have been 1,193,508 doses of COVID-19 vaccine administered and 470,591 people have received their second dose.

There have also been 26 deaths in the province in the third wave. One of those people was fully vaccinated and three have received one dose.
