Map of COVID-19 cases reported in Nova Scotia as of April 15, 2021. Legend here. THE COAST 3 cases on a technicality for Thursday, April 15  Nova Scotia’s latest COVID-19 numbers. At last you can read "What happened at Northwood?" the investigative feature by Stephanie Nolen that has occupied so much of my attention this week.

Map of COVID-19 cases reported in Nova Scotia as of April 12, 2021. Legend here. THE COAST 7 new cases for a record 46 active cases Monday, April 12  Nova Scotia's active COVID-19 caseload reaches a new high for the year.
