STORY CONTINUES BELOW THESE SALTWIRE VIDEOS
Another 19 Nova Scotians were admitted to hospital with COVID-19 in the week ending April 24.
Provincial numbers show that was also the new total for people in hospital as of April 25. Four of those patients are in the intensive care unit.
The province reported no deaths from the virus during the reporting period.
Nova Scotia Health reported that as of Thursday there were 53 cases of COVID-19 diagnosed in people who had been admitted to hospital for something else, and another 25 people in hospital contracted the virus after being admitted. Those numbers do not include the IWK hospital in Halifax.
There were 35 Nova Scotia Health employees off work on Thursday, April 27 because they had tested positive for COVID-19, were awaiting results of testing, or were exposed to a member of their household who tested positive.
Despite the fact that there are thousands of NSH employees, it said that because at least one health-care zone had fewer than five people off on Thursday it would not breakdown the numbers by zone to protect workers’ privacy.
