Here is a summary of today’s #COVID19AB update. Over the last 24 hours, we have identified 1,733 new cases & completed about 20,500 new tests. Our prov positivity rate currently sits at about 8.4% & we have 16,454 active cases. (1/9)

There are 453 people in hospital, of those, 96 are in the ICU. Sadly, there were 8 deaths related to COVID-19 reported to us in the past 24 hrs. My thoughts are with the family and friends of those individuals as they mourn the passing of their loved one. (2/9)

There are alerts/outbreaks in 376 schools (203 w/outbreaks incl 88 on watch) w/1,405 active cases. With grades 7-12 students at home, we can expect a reduction in cases & outbreaks attributed to schools in the coming days. They will still be reflected in active cases. (3/9)

For months, I have worked w/a team dedicated to supporting AB in responding to COVID-19. I am grateful for their commitment. My role is to provide the best advice possible to elected officials on protecting the public health of AB. I take my responsibility seriously. (2/10)

I care deeply about the health of AB. It remains my hope that AB understands & respects every conversation I have, put their health & a holistic consideration of all aspects of their health, 1st. I have always felt that my ideas are respectfully considered. (3/10)

All of us want the same thing: to protect the health of Albertans, to protect our health system, and to minimize the impact this pandemic is having on everyone’s lives. (4/10)
