Five Cases of COVID-19 Reported at Nova Scotia Legislature
“. . .
The Liberal Party, and NDP House leader Claudia Chender confirmed there are now five cases of COVID-19 reported among MLAs.
The Liberals confirmed a member of their party had tested positive, while the Progressive Conservatives wouldn’t say if any members of their party had tested positive, suggesting that it’s a private health matter, while all members of the NDP caucus were present at the legislature on Wednesday.
“There are MLAs that are out, but certainly I wouldn’t discuss any members’ private health information,” said Masland to reporters.
Chender said the government is now trying to determine their next steps, as no contingency plan was put in place ahead of the spring session.
“Prior to this sitting the Premier announced, essentially that COVID-19 was over and that we should all go about our lives,” said Chender. “We stopped receiving regular statistics and we were told that the mandates had been lifted and we were told that it was back to business as usual.”
