Meanwhile, the Kearl Lake outbreak in Alberta has been declared over and there have been no new community or long term care outbreaks.
There are four health care facilities with active outbreaks remaining.
Dr. Henry says the virus will continue in our communities and it’s easy to lose sight of that based on how well we are doing in the province.
She also says rapid testing needs to take place for anyone with COVID symptoms.
In addition, the ban on gatherings of over 50 people is not going anywhere yet, it will be in place for ‘many months to come’ says Dr. Henry.
