The increasing number of COVID-19 cases in the city of Edmonton may lead the province to impose more measures to lower transmission levels, Dr. Deena Hinshaw.
“The number of known cases over the weekend in Edmonton is worrying,” Hinshaw, the province’s leading health medical officer, said at a press conference.
“We saw an instance escalation in Edmonton, an increase in the number of replay instances to 1. 3 last week, and an increase in active instances to 894. We take this seriously and take a closer look at the reasons or drivers of this building until we are seeing it.
“By arguing with local public aptitude and the city, we determine whether more measures in the city deserve to be advised to reduce transmission. “
Hinshaw said that even with new measures, the number of cases may continue to increase.
“I would like to emphasize a point I’ve already made, namely that the new cases we’re seeing now are a mirror image of transmission occasions that occurred a week or two ago,” he said. she testified.
“Therefore, we hope that whatever adjustments we may or may not make in the coming days or weeks, we will see greater transmission in the next one to two weeks, which is a product of beyond events. “
On Monday, the province reported 8 more COVID-19 deaths in the last 3 days and 578 new disease alarms.
The province recorded instances on Friday, 263 on Saturday and 218 on Sunday.
Sick? Stay home, urge Hinshaw
Hinshaw said one of the points that leads to the increase in the number of other people in the province is that too many people attend paintings or social gatherings while they are symptomatic.
“This is a significant threat and one of the points that increases the number of our cases,” he said. “I need to make it clear that if you are sick, you will have to stay home. “
“If you’re sick, you shouldn’t go to social gatherings of any kind, that includes next Thanksgiving weekend. “
While the province is testing thousands of other people a day and returning the effects faster than ever, it’s nothing for others with symptoms to keep coming out.
“This is the aspect of the market place system, which produces effects as temporarily as possible. But our aspect of the market spot as Alberta’s inhabitants, staying home in case of illness while waiting for the effects is critical,” he said.
“We save you a moment or restrict the spread of COVID in Alberta if we don’t take all these fundamental measures. “
