The province also announced mandatory testing for rotational workers returning to Nova Scotia after working in another part of the country. Currently, rotational workers are asked to get tested within the first two days of their return to Nova Scotia, and again about a week later. Chief Medical Officer of Health Dr. Robert Strang said only about one-third of rotational workers are actually getting tested. Effective Friday, COVID-19 testing will be mandatory for rotational workers who work outside Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, and Newfoundland and Labrador.
