Police in Halifax say they are investigating a report of suspicious circumstances involving someone driving a car with emergency lights on and pulling someone over.
Police say that at around 9 p.m. Thursday a woman was driving herself and a passenger along Highway 102 near Lacewood Drive when a vehicle drove up behind her with flashing red and white lights on.
The woman says she pulled over to the side of the road and the car with the flashing light pulled over behind her, then she became concerned that the vehicle did not look like a police car and drove away before calling 9-1-1.
Police say the car appeared to be a black sedan with black tinted windows and red and white lights at the top of the windshield and it was being driven by a man in his 30s with a dark moustache.
Eligible adults who are at high risk of severe illness can now receive an additional COVID-19 booster dose.
Nova Scotia’s top doctor, Dr. Robert Strang, is asking eligible residents to book an appointment if it has been six months since their last dose and three months since a COVID-19 infection.
The province says people who are 80 or older, adults living in long-term care and adults who are immunocompromised should get a spring dose — while those aged 65 to 79 and those aged 50 and up who are First Nations or of African descent should consider getting a booster.
The spring dose will only be available until June 30th and health officials expect there will be a fall vaccination program later this year.
