COVID-19 Information

A Message from the Government of Nova Scotia: 

Sent via email to DAGS on Dec 19, 2020

As Dr. Strang mentioned on the call this afternoon and as noted in the new release just issued, all students arriving from outside Atlantic Canada must self-isolate for 14 days, and we are also asking students to get 1 test for COVID-19 on day 6, 7 or 8 of their self-isolation starting January 4th. By getting tested, students can help protect their household and their community.


REQUIRED TRAVEL FORM
All students entering Nova Scotia from outside Atlantic Canada must complete the Nova Scotia Safe Check-in. This includes students coming from all other Canadian provinces/territories and from other countries.
International students must also use the federal government’s ArriveCAN app to provide their information to the Public Health Agency of Canada. Students can download the ArriveCAN app or call 1-833-641-0343.

REQUIRED SELF-ISOLATION
All students entering Nova Scotia from outside Atlantic Canada must self-isolate for 14 days upon arrival. You must complete a daily digital check-in.
International students have particular self-isolation requirements. Learn more.

TESTING
All students entering Nova Scotia from outside Atlantic Canada in January 2020 should get tested.
  • Students should get 1 COVID-19 test on day 6, 7 or 8 of your self-isolation. Please book your appointment up to 3 days in advance by completing the COVID-19 self-assessment. 
  • If you need help with transportation to/from you testing appointment, please call 1-844-996-0694.
  • While testing is voluntary, we expect students to help protect their households and communities by getting tested.

Anyone in Nova Scotia who thinks they have symptoms of COVID-19 should do the COVID-19 self-assessment. You can call 811 if you cannot complete the self-assessment online.
