On Friday, we shared a COVID-19 update with our partners. Due to the size of the distribution list, some stakeholders may not have received the initial message, so it will be repeated below.
You have been added to our distribution list for the purpose of providing news releases, notifications of website updates (https://novascotia.ca/coronavirus/) and other relevant public information related to COVID-19.

The individuals have been notified and are in self-isolation.
This update will be livestreamed on https://novascotia.ca/stayinformed/webcast .
