There has been 367 cases reported at continuing care facilities in the province. Provincial Public Health Officer, Dr. Deena Hinshaw says the province will be posting the location and facility name for active outbreaks at continuing care, long-term and acute care facilities. An outbreak is defined as two or more cases found in the same facility.
Twenty workers at the Kearl Lake oil sands project near Fort McMurray have tested positive for COVID-19. Hinshaw recommends all workers who are the camp before April 16 to self-isolate for 14 days as they may have been unknowingly exposed.
