Previously reported case at Northwood was determined to be a false positive
For the fourth day in a row, Nova Scotia reported no new cases of COVID-19.
An earlier news release on Saturday did say there was one positive test at the Northwood long-term care facility in Halifax, but the province has since clarified that test was a false positive.
There are no active cases at any licensed long-term care homes in Nova Scotia.
The QEII Health Sciences Centre's microbiology lab completed 854 Nova Scotia tests on Friday.
Three known active cases of COVID-19 remain in the province.
As of Saturday, there has been a total of 48,384 negative test results, 1,061 positive COVID-19 cases, 62 deaths and 996 cases considered to be resolved. Two people are in hospital with COVID-19, including one person in intensive care.
