Here is a summary of the latest #COVID19AB numbers: There are now 463 people in hospital due to COVID-19. Of the 365 non-ICU, 70.9% are unvaccinated or partially vaccinated. Of the 98 in ICU, 85.7% are unvaccinated or partially vaccinated. (1/6) 
In the last 24 hours, we ID’d 269 new cases of COVID-19 from about 4.8K tests. On Nov 20, 386 new cases were ID’d from about 7.6K tests. On Nov 19, we ID’d 470 new cases from about 9.4K tests. Up-to-date data can be found at alberta.ca/covid-19-alber… (2/6)
Sadly, 6 new deaths related to COVID-19 were reported to Alberta Health since Nov 18. I extend my sincere condolences to all who are grieving today. (3/6)
Unfortunately, all of these individuals were unvaccinated. Vaccines work. They protect us, our families, our communities and our health system. (4/6)
I’d like to remind Albertans that it’s also important to get immunized against seasonal influenza. Appointments are available across the province & it’s safe to book your annual influenza vaccine at the same time as your COVID vaccine. Book online: alberta.ca/vaccine. (5/6)
I know many families are looking forward to hearing more about plans to open up vaccinations for children ages 5-11. We are finalizing details and will share information on Alberta’s roll-out at tomorrow’s media availability. You can pre-register at: bookvaccine.alberta.ca/vaccine/s/ (6/6)
