Here is a summary of today’s #COVID19AB update. There are 1,287 new cases with 14,555 active cases across Alberta. I’m sad to report an additional 18 deaths. My condolences to the families and friends mourning a loved one today. (1/4)

2020 is almost behind us & hope is on the horizon, but our battle with COVID-19 is far from over. The more we all follow public health guidance now, the more our case numbers & hospitalizations will go down in the weeks to come. alberta.ca/enhanced-publi… (3/4)

Here is a summary of today’s #COVID19AB update: Thank you to the many ABs who celebrated Christmas safely. Case numbers continue to decline, in part, due to less people presenting for testing over the past several days, which is not surprising due to the holidays. (1/12)

Here is a summary of today’s #COVID19AB update: AB is providing a one-time exemption to the gathering limit – only if you live alone. From Dec. 23-28, they can visit another household once. Please continue to take all precautions. (1/8)

AHS will have close to 1,600 contact tracers by the end of the year. COVID-19 obviously doesn’t take a break, and I’m extremely grateful to all of our healthcare workers who are spending the season caring for patients and responding to the pandemic. (2/8)

If there are ways to care for mental & physical well-being by not entering continuing care facilities, please do so. This is a difficult time for those living/working in these facilities & I hope all ABs will show them support. A letter, card, or call will go a long way. (3/8)

There are 795 people in hospital, including 151 in ICU. Sadly, 9 new deaths were reported in the last 24 hrs. My thoughts are with all those mourning a family member or friend right now, whether it is from COVID-19 or any other cause. (2/11)

This weekend, the federal government restricted incoming flights from the UK for 72 hrs in response to a genetic variant of the virus that causes COVID-19 circulating in the UK that appears to be more easily transmitted person-to-person. (3/11)

While this is not fully confirmed, there is sufficient evidence to prompt action. At this time, the variant does not appear to cause more severe symptoms or impact how the body responds to the virus, lab testing performance, or the effectiveness of the COVID-19 vaccines. (4/11)

Here is a summary of today’s #COVID19AB update. There are 1,286 new cases with 19,201 active case across Alberta. I’m sad to report an additional 10 deaths. My heartfelt condolences to those mourning a loved one. (1/4)

There are currently 760 people in hospital with 149 people in ICU. On Dec. 19, an additional 17,956 tests were completed giving a positivity rate of 7.1%. This brings the total number of completed tests to 2,638,451 since testing began. (2/4)

Additional restrictions may mean longer lines at grocery stores or other retail locations. Please remember to be patient; the holiday season is always busy and stressful and this year, more than ever, we need to show kindness to others. (3/4)
