CBC
Nova Scotia reported 581 new cases of COVID-19 Monday and said there is a small outbreak in a Halifax hospital.
Of the new cases, 420 are in the central zone, 62 cases are in the eastern zone, 42 cases are in the northern zone and 57 cases are in the western zone.
The province said a handful of patients at the Halifax Infirmary have tested positive for COVID-19 as a result of an outbreak on a ward. The province said "less than five" people are affected. All patients are being monitored.
As of Friday, 15 people were in hospital due to the virus, including four in intensive care. Monday's update didn't provide an update on that number.
Provincial labs completed 4,851 tests on Sunday.
Public Health has asked people who test positive to do their own contact tracing, as it's too busy keeping up with tracing for long-term care, healthcare facilities, correctional facilities, shelters and other group settings.
