Alberta’s record surge of COVID-19 infections reached new heights Saturday, as the province reported 2,433 new cases.
It’s by far the most cases logged in Alberta in a single day, a significant step up from the 2,048 and 2,007 infections reported Thursday and Friday, respectively.
The cases came from 20,457 tests, representing an 11.9 per cent positivity rate, also an all-time high.
The surge has overwhelmed Alberta’s ability to process all new cases, forcing the province to scale back variant testing efforts.
