What’s happening now
Alberta is reporting 35 new COVID-19 cases on Tuesday, with virtually no change in the number of people hospitalized with the virus.
Alberta is lifting most COVID-19 restrictions on continuing care facilities, including limits on visitors and restrictions on dining and recreational activities.
Alberta reported 90 new cases of COVID-19 over the weekend.
Walk-in COVID-19 immunization clinics will be open today for people born in 2003 or earlier in Calgary.
The federal government expects 1.4 million doses of Pfizer to arrive this week. It also plans to distribute the 1.5 million doses from Moderna that came in last Friday.
More than half of eligible Albertans are fully vaccinated against COVID-19.

HEREâS WHAT ELSE IS HAPPENING:
OTTAWA â Canada will donate 17.7 million doses of the Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine to lower-income countries through the U.N.-backed COVAX program for vaccine sharing.
Federal Procurement Minister Anita Anand said Monday that the doses are excess supply. The timing of the donation has yet to be worked out.
While at the G7 summit last month, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau pledged Canada would give back 13 million doses it was set to receive through a contract with COVAX, on top of millions of dollars already set aside for the global vaccine effort.
Canada is on track to receive 68 million doses by the end of July, which would be enough to inoculate most Canadians.

SYDNEY â Australia has recorded a third COVID-19 death this year.
New South Wales state Chief Health Officer Kerry Chant on Tuesday declined to say whether the man, who was aged in his 70s, had been vaccinated. He died Monday in Sydneyâs eastern suburbs where the current Sydney cluster began last month.
The New South Wales state government has said Sydneyâs three-wee-old lockdown is likely to be extended Friday.
A woman in her 90s from southwest Sydney died Saturday, a day after testing positive for the coronavirus. An 80-year-old man died April 12 after becoming infected in the Philippines.
Australia had not previously recorded a COVID-19 death since Oct. 19.
