Falling hospital outbreaks 'extremely good news': AHS

EDMONTON --
Alberta Health Services said Thursday afternoon it has seen a "significant reduction" in COVID-19 outbreaks at Alberta hospitals recently, coinciding with the fall of cases in the community.
According to the health authority, in the past week alone, outbreaks were declared over at the University of Alberta Hospital, Leduc Community Hospital, Fort Saskatchewan Community Hospital, Red Deer Regional Hospital Centre, Foothills Medical Centre, and the Medicine Hat Hospital.
A statement provided by AHS called the reduction "extremely good news" and said it reflects decreasing community transmission and the "hard work" of frontline hospital teams to apply screenings and adhere to strict infection prevention control and cleaning measures.
