COVID-19 in Alberta: Minister Copping

Minister of Health Jason Copping issued the following statement on COVID-19 in the province:

“The updated COVID-19 data posted June 15 is more good news, especially for the people working in our hospitals, family physicians and other health-care providers. The Omicron wave continues to recede. Wastewater levels are trending down and are near the levels before Omicron in many centres, including Grande Prairie, Fort McMurray, Red Deer, Medicine Hat and Lethbridge.

The latest total of 719 is less than half the Omicron peak, the lowest since early January, and we expect the numbers to continue to trend down.
