The Nova Scotia Health Authority (NSHA) is warning the public about possible COVID-19 exposure on Halifax Transit buses after a driver recently tested positive for the novel coronavirus disease.

In a news release Thursday, the NSHA said there was possible exposure on three buses:

• April 3 on Route 10 from 5:56 p.m. to 1:04 a.m.
• April 4 on Route 62 from 12:27 p.m. to 1:33 p.m. and 4:27 p.m. to 5:33 p.m.
• April 4 on Route 60 from 1:33 p.m. to 4:27 p.m. and 5:33 p.m. to 8:20 p.m.

The advisory comes a day after it was revealed a Halifax Transit bus driver had tested positive for the virus.

Union president Kenny Wilson said the driver has no connection to travel and is concerned it was the result of community spread.

Those who were on the bus during the dates listed are being asked to self-monitor for signs and symptoms of COVID-19.

Symptoms include fever, cough, sore throat, runny nose and headache. If you have two or more of those symptoms, you’re asked to call 811 and self-isolate until you receive 811 advice on next steps.
