HALIFAX -- Nova Scotia health officials are reporting 86 new COVID-19 cases Saturday, as the active number of cases in the province drops to 1,509. The 86 new cases is Nova Scotia's lowest single day increase since April 30. "I'm pleased to see that our new case number is a double-digit figure for the first time in more than two weeks," said N.S. Premier Iain Rankin in a release. "Thanks to the sacrifices of Nova Scotians, we're seeing hopeful signs of a downward trend. However, we must stick with the restrictions and public health measures to stop the spread while we continue to vaccinate more and more Nova Scotians."
