We can see from our case numbers that Nova Scotians and university students returning to our province are doing a good job following the public health protocols and orders, Premier Stephen McNeil said in a news release Saturday.
This is the second case to be identified at St. FX this week. The first case also involved a returning student who arrived to campus on Jan. 3 and immediately began isolating. The two cases appear to be unrelated. Our plans have been fully enacted, including activating the necessary supports for our student, and the risk to the overall community remains low, the release said.
