Houston, during a press conference said:
"This is significant, and I know as much as this is the news so many have been waiting for there are many, many others who are extremely nervous by that news. But no matter what emotions you are experiencing, right now we can all agree that this has been a long, long run."The province currently has 11 people in ICU, with 49 in hospital.
Houston continued:
"We know that COVID-zero is not a reality. Certainly not right now... Living with COVID, that's the reality, that has to become our new reality, and I know and I respect that that's a scary thought for some Nova Scotians."Houston said that this announcement, in many ways, was a start on the road to normalcy. He said that the proof of vaccine system has served its purpose, but it was a temporary measure whose time has come.
Nova Scotia has one of the highest vaccination rates in the world for any jurisdiction, with over 92 percent having received at least one dose. 86 percent have received at least two doses.
Most people I know who are scared, are only that way because they have listened to media and politicians instructing them to be scared, for 2 years. I have very little sympathy. Make that no sympathy.
