Public Health is encouraging post-secondary students—and all Nova Scotians—to get tested regularly as part of living safely with COVID-19. Even if you have not traveled, even if you have not been at a location listed in an exposure notice, even if you do not have symptoms (asymptomatic) – you can help keep people safe by getting tested regularly.
With a few cases on Halifax campuses and the recent one at Dalhousie University, Public Health is encouraging all students attending post-secondary institutions on the Halifax peninsula to get tested, whether you traveled over the holidays or not.
Students can also continue to book appointments at primary assessment centres around the province. (There is a centre in Wolfville and Berwick.)
Mobile Health Units will be at Dalhousie University for drop-in testing:
Tuesday, January 26 and Wednesday, January 27 10:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.
Goldberg Computer Science Building University Avenue (Edward Street entrance)
