Houston, Strang to hold COVID-19 briefing today
CBC
Premier Tim Houston and Dr. Robert Strang, Nova Scotia's chief medical officer of health, will provide an update on COVID-19 today.
The briefing, which is scheduled to start at 2 p.m., will be live streamed here.
The update comes as Nova Scotia grapples with a significant spike in cases. The province has reached an all-time high in new daily case counts several times in the past week, and yesterday was no exception, with 485 new cases reported Monday.

Health Minister Adriana LaGrange is alleging the former CEO of Alberta Health Services was unwilling and unable to implement the government's plan to break up the health authority, became "infatuated" with her internal investigation into private surgical contracts and made "incendiary and inaccurate allegations about political intrigue and impropriety" before she was fired in January.
