10 New Hospital Admissions, Eight Discharges, One Death
Health and Wellness / COVID - 19
February 10, 2022 - 4:59 PM
Today, February 10, Nova Scotia is reporting 10 new hospital admissions and eight discharges.
Nova Scotia is also reporting one death related to COVID-19. A woman in her 80s in Central Zone has died.
Starting today, to more accurately represent hospitalization data, the releases will use medians to report two figures: the length of stay and age of those in hospital. Previously, the mean, or average, was used to report this data. However, because some people are in hospital for a long stay, in some cases waiting to be discharged to another facility, using median is more accurate.
Of the 90 people in hospital, 87 were admitted during the Omicron wave.
There are also two other groups of people in hospital related to COVID-19:
As of February 9, 2,169,722 doses of COVID-19 vaccine have been administered. Of those, 91.5 per cent of Nova Scotians have received their first dose, and 85.2 per cent have received their second dose.
As well, 59.2 per cent of Nova Scotians 18 and older have received a booster dose, and 2.4 per cent have booked a booster dose appointment.
Cases and Testing:
On February 9, Nova Scotia Health Authority (NSHA) labs completed 2,931 tests. An additional 365 new lab-confirmed cases of COVID-19 are being reported.
There are 143 cases in Central Zone, 64 cases in Eastern Zone, 49 cases in Northern Zone and 109 cases in Western Zone.
As of today, there are an estimated 3,306 active cases of COVID-19 in Nova Scotia.
Long-Term Care Outbreaks:
NSHA is reporting a new outbreak at Cumberland Regional Health Centre in Amherst. Fewer than five patients have tested positive. NSHA is also reporting additional cases related to the outbreaks in two hospitals:

“It’s never easy to hear we lost another Nova Scotian to this virus. My thoughts and prayers are with the family and loved ones grieving,” said Dr. Robert Strang, Nova Scotia’s Chief Medical Officer of Health. “Trying to protect people is what we’ve been doing for two years and why we’ve had restrictions and rules that are frustrating but necessary.
