NS Health data feeds down since May 9. Showing predictions for NS hospitals.

Nova Scotia Health's emergency department wait time and closure data feeds have been down since their One Person One Record clinical information system launched May 9. Wait times shown for NS hospitals are now from ERstat's prediction model — NSH's data is unavailable.

Closures are still being tracked by scraping NSH's public status page directly, so closure information shown here should remain accurate.
