Over half of the outbreaks in the north zone are in the region. Grande Prairie remains the closest as they are also dealing with multiple outbreaks across their county.

According to Alberta Health, the numbers are as follows:

In total, the 27 outbreaks with updated numbers have combined for a total of 4,318 cases with 1,122 still active.

Not all of these cases are updated into the region’s case numbers as fly-in-fly-out workers who test positive but don’t have a local address aren’t added to the RMWB’s case count.

These outbreaks will officially be declared over once they go four weeks without any additional cases.
