The latest cases, which are related to travel outside of Atlantic Canada, bring the number of active known cases in Nova Scotia to 12. "It is a reminder of the vulnerable position that Nova Scotia is in," said Dr. Robert Strang. Nova Scotia Health labs completed 1,381 tests on Monday. As Newfoundland and Labrador fights the outbreak of coronavirus variant B117 originating from the U.K., Strang said officials in Nova Scotia are still trying to determine the source of two variant cases. "We may not know the source of these variant cases at this time, but we have no indication of community spread."
