Public Health is advising the public of an email scam currently circulating that appears to be from Nova Scotia Health (Authority) and related to our COVID-19 contract tracing efforts.

Public Health does not send emails asking the public to complete a contact tracing form. All efforts related to contact tracing in Nova Scotia take place by phone and are carried out by Public Health officials.

If you receive an email that appears to be from Nova Scotia Health (Authority) requesting that you complete a contract tracing form, please do not click on any links and delete the email immediately.
