Halifax QEII ER resumes normal operations after power outage

The QEII Halifax Infirmary emergency department has resumed normal operations.

The emergency department reopened Friday night after it was partially closed earlier in the evening as it experienced a partial power outage.

According to the Nova Scotia Health Authority (NSHA), the infirmary was only accepting life-threatening emergencies during the outage.

NSHA says anyone in need of non-urgent care during a closure should contact their family doctor or primary care provider. They said general health advice and information can be provided 24 hours a day by calling 811.
