Here is a summary of the latest #COVID19AB numbers: There are now 1,040 people in hospital due to COVID-19. Of the 810 non-ICU, 74.8% are unvaccinated or partially vaccinated. Of the 230 in ICU, 91.8% are unvaccinated or partially vaccinated. (1/4)
Over the past 24 hours, we identified 1,336 new cases & completed about 14.5K tests. Complete, up-to-date data, including breakdowns by region, can be found here. alberta.ca/covid-19-alber… (2/4)
Sadly, 20 new COVID-19 related deaths were reported to AB Health in the last 24hrs, ranging in age from <20 to >90. This is a sad reminder, that regardless of age, unvaccinated ABs are at higher risk of severe outcomes. I extend my condolences to everyone grieving today. (3/4)
Our actions, such as going out while symptomatic, have very real consequences to those around us. Staying home when we feel unwell, wearing our masks when out in public, & getting vaccinated are critical to limiting the potential spread of COVID-19. alberta.ca/vaccine. (4/4)

Here is a summary of today’s #COVID19AB update: We have added to the daily symptom screening checklist the recommendation that unvaccinated & partially vaccinated individuals quarantine for 14 days if they have been exposed to a + COVID case in their household. (1/10)
Living in the same home as someone w/ COVID puts you at the highest risk of infection & spreading the virus to others. This is not for other close contacts, such as classmates in school or a workplace. There are other health measures already in place for these settings. (2/10)
In the last 24hrs, we ID’d 1,660 new cases & completed about 18K tests. Our + rate is about 9.4%. 1,058 ppl are in hospital, incl 226 in ICU. 100% of new ICU admissions were unvaccinated. Sadly, 17 new deaths were also reported. My condolences go to anyone mourning a loss. (3/10) Image

Here is a summary of today’s #COVID19AB update: First a clarification: Physical activity is critical for the overall health & well-being of youth, & necessary to daily living, so youth sports & recreation activities are not part of the Restrictions Exemption Program. (1/10)
Some facilities are requiring proof of vaccine for ABs <18. Operators can set rules that exceed min CMOH order requirements & I clearly support vaccine protection, but encourage facility operators to let youth <18 use your facilities w/other COVID precautions in place. (2/10)
Masking is mandatory in all indoor public spaces across AB, even in businesses that have implemented the Restrictions Exemption Program. Get vaccinated & continue to follow the health measures so we can drive cases down & stop the current spike in hospitalizations. (3/10)

Physical activity is critically important for the overall health & well-being of youth & is necessary to daily living. That is why AB government decided against requiring proof of vaccination for youth U-18 who are taking part in sport, rec & performance activities. (1/4)
Some arenas & facilities serving both adult & youth populations, have decided to take a 1-size-fits-all approach to requiring proof of vaccination, eliminating options for unvaccinated youth U-18 to take part in sport, recreation/performance activities. (2/4)
While nothing prohibits these organizations from doing so. I encourage organizations to allow all youth U-18 to participate in sport, recreation and performance activities & focus on other ways to reduce COVID-19 risk in these settings. (3/4)

We need more Albertans immunized to prevent such outcomes. We know vaccines can limit new cases, & help prevent severe outcomes, & hospitalizations over the long term. We must work together to reduce transmission to protect our health system & our communities. (3/6)
