That’s 23 fewer than Wednesday’s total, though still a far-cry from the 336 active case low that the province saw at the start of June.

Of those 1,084 currently active cases, 622 were detected in the Edmonton region — over twice as many as seen in Calgary, which has 294 as of the latest update.

Alberta’s South, Central, and North Zones contain 31, 33, and 100 active cases, respectively.
