Alberta announces new COVID numbers, rescinded restrictions and the future of data reporting
This will provide a better opportunity to show the specific severity of COVID over time, Hinshaw said.There will be more of a focus on showing where there are current outbreaks by site, how different at-risk sites change over time and how transmission of the virus is moving through these high-risk sites.
Omicron becoming the main strain of COVID changes a lot about how and what data needs to be looked at. The province, Hinshaw said, is moving toward a “more sustainable” model of case reporting. Dr. Hinshaw said that as Alberta enters the transition phase between pandemic and endemic, the province will “continue to make geographically based metrics to help Albertans understand local transmission risk.”AHS announced in a news release Wednesday that “visit restrictions at AHS acute care, ambulatory care, urgent care and emergency care sites” have been lifted.
While these restrictions have been lifted, AHS is reminding everyone that some specialized care units may put in place their own limitations for the safety of vulnerable patients.19 firefighters suing City of Calgary over now-suspended COVID-19 vaccine policy
