Of those patients, 28 are being treated in intensive-care units.The province also announced 21 more COVID-19 deaths were recorded over seven days, bringing the total number of verified coronavirus deaths in Alberta to 4,694 since the pandemic began.
Between Aug. 2 and Aug. 8, 1,808 COVID-19 cases were identified as a result of 7,789 tests. Because of limits on who is eligible for a PCR test in Alberta, public health officials have said active case counts and the number of new cases in the province are likely much higher than what is being reported.
