He said Alberta is on track to have 2,000 new infections a day and 1,000 people in hospital with COVID-19 by the end of April, and that the third wave is being driven by variants.
The sooner we go there the better. We ll have fewer people infected. He warned that the more contagious COVID-19 variants could turn schools in sites of superspreader events. These variants are just extraordinarily transmissible, he said. Variant cases have grown sharply in recent days and now make up nearly half of all active cases. Outbreaks have been declared at more than 160 schools across the province. We have seen a concerning increase in all ages recently, including school-aged Albertans. The health measures announced on Monday are now fully in effect, including for restaurants and fitness facilities, reads a statement from Alberta Health.
