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.
