It's kind of hard to interpret the NS testing data because, while the new known cases each day haven't gone down much, testing has gone up. The higher or lower days tend to track how many tests were done; I don't think they should be interpreted as a consequence of period of higher or lower infection. Tests performed come back 97% negative.
The low ratio of deaths to recoveries suggests that NS is detecting a relatively high proportion of total cases. Number of hospitalizations has been small and relatively constant during the past 10 days. People sometimes spend a long time in the hospital and in ICU.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2020_c...in_Nova_Scotia has some good data, with not just known cases and deaths but hospitalization and testing information.
