The emergency department at Queens General Hospital in Liverpool will be closed until Friday (Aug. 2) at 8 a.m.
Nova Scotia Health announced the temporary closure in a news release on Sunday.
No reason was given for the closure, but in the past officials have blamed staffing shortages.
The ER at South Shore Regional Hospital in Bridgewater will be open.
