          Nova Scotia reported 14 new COVID-19 deaths Thursday, but the province says the deaths did not happen within the latest reporting week, which ran from Oct. 25 to Oct. 31.

          In an update posted to Nova Scotia's COVID-19 dashboard, the province introduced a new category titled "New Deaths from Previous Reporting Periods." It did not specify when the 14 deaths happened.

          The province reported 792 new cases confirmed by PCR tests for that same time period — a daily average of 113. This is down from last week, when there were 919 PCR-confirmed cases.

          There were 303 people in hospital with COVID-19, the health authority said Thursday. Last week, it reported 309 patients in hospital with COVID 19. That is down slightly from the previous week.

          Of those 303 people:

          34 were in hospital for COVID-19 (including five people in ICU).
          165 were in hospital for something else but have COVID-19.
          104 patients contracted COVID-19 after admission.

                  But the province also recorded 14 more deaths from a previous, unspecified time period, according to information released Thursday.

                  Those deaths were listed in a new category added to Nova Scotia's COVID-19 dashboard on Nov. 3.

                  The province said deaths reported in this category could be from any past reporting period, but most likely to be within weeks or months of being reported.

                      Number of COVID-19 hospitalizations jumps at Nova Scotia Health facilities
                      SaltWire Network | Posted: 2 hours ago | Updated: 2 minutes ago |

                      The number of adults being treated for COVID-19 at Nova Scotia Health facilities has jumped.

                      There were 29 people with COVID-19, including five in ICU, as of Thursday, an NSH spokesperson said in an email.

                      That's up from 25 reported last week.

                      There are also 122 people in hospital for something else but have COVID-19 (down from 124 last week) and 34 patients contracted the virus after being admitted (down from 38).

                      The number of children being treated for COVID-19 as of Thursday at the IWK Health Centre is unchanged at “fewer than five,” a spokesperson said in an email. (That number could mean zero but the IWK doesn’t clarify whether that’s the case.)

                      The number of Nova Scotia Health employees off because of COVID-19 also has jumped. ..

                          Nova Scotia reported 11 COVID-19 deaths in December 2022, according to the province's latest epidemiologic summary.

                          The number of deaths were down compared to November, but 165 hospitalizations and 3,014 positive PCR test results marked higher figures than the previous month.

                          Age and lack of vaccination "continue to be associated with severe outcomes," the summary noted.

                          Nova Scotians 70 and older have been hospitalized at nearly 19 times the rate of people between the ages of 18 to 49, according to the report. The rate of death among people over 70 is 280 times higher compared to people under 50...
