Alberta reports 6,257 new COVID-19 cases

Alberta reported 6,257 new COVID-19 cases on Friday, a record daily count increasing known active cases to 43,414. Limits to testing capacity and eligibility and exclusion of take-home rapid test kits results mean the official new case figure understates the actual number of COVID-19 cases. The number of patients with COVID-19 in hospital increased to 504 on Friday. The ICU count remained at 64. The province also reported two more deaths, bringing the total number of COVID-19 deaths to 3,338. Mo
