Here is a summary thread of today’s #COVID19AB public health update. In the last 24 hours, we confirmed 50 new cases of COVID-19 in Alberta, bringing our total to 1,423.
We suspect 206 cases may be community transmission. (1/9)

I want to be honest with Albertans - #COVID19AB will get worse before it gets better.
But Alberta will do everything in our power to fight this virus:
🧪Completing the most tests in 🇨🇦
🛏Freeing up hospital beds
🩺Gathering needed medical equipment https://t.co/y8ytgYTCwD
Our new approach reflects the fact that the most important thing anyone can do if they have mild symptoms isn’t to get tested—it’s to stay home and self-isolate.
