EDMONTON Alberta is reporting 904 opioid-related deaths in the first 10 months of 2020, a sobering record surpassing the province s current death count of COVID-19. Premier Jason Kenney says the novel coronavirus has had an impact on those opioid numbers, initially reducing access to in-person treatment programs along with reports some people used federal COVID-19 income supports to purchase drugs. “It s important for us to learn from these factors that may have driven a significant increase in overdose deaths earlier this year,” Kenney said at a virtual news conference Friday. But he noted the province has also invested $140 million over four years for mental health and addictions programs, including $40 million for opioid addictions.
