SYDNEY, N.S.
Veterinary care is now being deemed an essential service in Nova Scotia during the COVID-19 pandemic
Chief medical officer of health, Dr. Robert Strang, has asked for the province's Health Protection Act to be amended to include veterinarians.
Veterinarians have been asking the province to ensure their clinics can stay open during the COVID-19 outbreak to deal with sick and injured animals.
When Nova Scotia declared a state of emergency in an effort to reduce the spread of the virus, veterinary medicine wasnt listed as an essential service.
Even before Premier Stephen McNeil announced the state of emergency, the Nova Scotia Veterinary Medical Association had directed the approximately 100 animal hospitals and clinics it represents including 13 in Cape Breton to take measures to prevent the spread of COVID-19.
The association says veterinarians in the province are trained in epidemiology and herd health, so they have been quick to implement protocols to reduce the spread of infection.
