COVID-19.At a briefing on Friday, Dr. Robert Strang said he’d recently been informed that a small number of Nova Scotians had attempted to deceive or lie to contact tracers.He called the development “concerning.”“They have not been truthful and honest about their movements and people they have been in contact with and this lack of information has delayed investigations and is leaving more time for the virus to spread in communities,” Strang said.“I have to say, I’m very disappointed by this news.” Nova Scotia marks 2 weeks since holiday season as province reports 2 new cases Friday Strang admitted that the issue was not widespread but said it was important for people to understand how it undercuts the province’s efforts to stop the spread.
