Nova Scotia reported one new death and 83 new cases of COVID-19 on Monday.
A man in his 80s in the central zone has died. Since the start of the pandemic, 96 people have died of COVID-19.
"It is never easy to hear that a Nova Scotian has passed away as a result of COVID-19," Dr. Robert Strang, the chief medical officer of health, said in a news release.
"My thoughts and prayers are with those who are grieving. This is a sad day, and it reminds us how serious the virus is. I cannot emphasize enough how critical it is to get vaccinated and follow public health measures to prevent further illness and death from this virus."
The number of new cases encompasses cases discovered since the last update on Friday, and brings the active caseload in the province to 205.
Of the new cases, 65 are in the central zone, eight are in the western zone, six are in the northern zone and four are in the eastern zone.
Citing the influx of investigations, the province did not provide the source of the new cases on Monday, such as close contact, travel or under investigation. That information will no longer be regularly provided.
