After the Delta and Alpha variants, Omicron has become the third most prominent COVID-19 variant to circulate in the province.

Earlier this week, Premier Jason Kenney cautioned that cases are likely much higher due to the province reaching a testing capacity limit, with many Albertans testing positive on rapid test kits at home.

Since the beginning of the pandemic, Alberta has seen a total of 384,126 confirmed cases of COVID-19, and 343,597 have since recovered.

Alberta’s COVID-19 death toll currently stands at 3,333.
