Nova Scotia Health has limited all hospitals to 1 dedicated visitor per in-patient, with some exceptions. Nova Scotia Health is making changes to visitor restrictions at hospitals across the province as cases continue to rise during the Omicron-driven wave of the pandemic. Nova Scotia reported 1,020 new COVID-19 cases on Tuesday, the second day in a row with that case count. No visitors for those with COVID-19 or on outbreak unitExceptions may be made for palliative patients, patients receiving medical assistance in dying, and others nearing the end of life, the release said. These provincewide restrictions were also in place around this time last year, and come after weeks of individual hospitals limiting visitors as they dealt with COVID-19 activity.
