The average positivity rate is at 1.1%.

The number of active cases in the province has dropped below the 1000 mark to 831.

There are 136 people in the hospital while 32 of those are in ICU.

To date, 73.4% of the Albertans 12 and older have received one dose of COVID vaccine, and 48.4% of the provincial population is now fully immunized.

BIPOC communities are at a far greater risk to COVID-19 due to systemic factors, something the Province of Manitoba says is evident in the previous three waves.

Doctors say BIPOC COVID-19 risks need to be improved before the fourth COVID wave, sharing what factors contributed to major inequalities in cases and hospitalizations.
