Potential exposures to COVID-19 at one location in Central Zone and on one flight
Nova Scotia Health Public Health is advising of potential exposures to COVID-19 at a location in Central Zone and on one flight. In addition to media releases, all potential exposure notifications are listed here: http://www.nshealth.ca/covid-exposures.
PLEASE NOTE: Due to the high number of COVID-19 cases in our province, we have made changes to how Public Health communicates COVID-19 public exposures. We will no longer be issuing notifications when there has been minimal risk to the public (precaution notifications). We will only be issuing notifications when the public has had close contact with someone who has tested positive for COVID-19 (exposures).
If you were present at the following locations on the named dates and times, you are required to immediately self-isolate and follow the instructions in this table for a COVID-19 Exposure Notification based on your vaccination status.

- December 18 between 10:30 p.m. and 1:00 a.m. (December 19)
It is anticipated that anyone exposed to the virus at this location on the named date may
develop symptoms up to, and including, January 2.
