LETHBRIDGE, AB – Alberta Health Services has released a “modified update” on COVID-19 for Sunday.

During the holiday break, Chief Medical Officer of Health Dr. Deena Hinshaw notes that “fewer people were tested Dec. 25 so fewer tests were processed and reported on Dec. 26.”

In the numbers being reported today, 500 cases were confirmed across the province.

With 6,900 laboratory tests conducted during that period, that gives a positivity rate of approximately seven per cent.
