There are now just 22 active cases total, 16 at Northwood, 1 at another LTC facility and 5 outside LTC.

Northwood Update:

Facility cases (total): 343 (+1 new)*

Residents
Total cases: 246 (+1 new)
Active cases: 12 (4 less)
Recoveries: 182 (+5 new)
Deaths: 52 (no change)

Employees
Total cases: 97 (1 more)*
Active cases: 4 (no change)
Recoveries: 93 (1 less)*

* – After a review of data from the Nova Scotia Health Authority, two staff have now been excluded from the Northwood outbreak because they did not work at the facility during their incubation period. So they were not associated with the outbreak in the Halifax facility, and thus have been removed from these statistics.
