Here is a summary of today’s #COVID19AB update. We have identified 1,731 new cases & there are now 14,931 active cases across Alberta. I’m sad to report an additional five deaths. My condolences to the families and friends mourning a lost loved one today. (1/5)

There are currently 415 people in hospital, with 88 people in ICU. Yesterday, 21,657 tests were completed -- bringing the total number of tests to 2,211,110 since the pandemic began. (2/5)

This is the first weekend with the new enhanced measures restricting social gatherings and businesses in effect. It’ll take 10-14 days to really start seeing the impact of these new measures. We must all do our part to reduce the spread. (3/5)

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)
