AHS reports 23 COVID deaths in Alberta Friday with three in South Zone

Feb 11, 2022 | 4:20 PM

LETHBRIDGE, AB – The province has released its latest report on COVID-19 for Friday, covering statistics from the past 24 hours.

1,400 cases were confirmed across the province, bringing the total to 514,165. Of those, 24,154 cases are active while 486,270 people have recovered.

With 4,742 tests conducted in that time, the positivity rate was 29.5 per cent.

It should be noted that, on January 10, the province limited the number of people who can get a PCR test from AHS for COVID-19 to only those in high-risk settings. This likely means that the amount of people who have actually contracted COVID since then would be higher than what is being reported by the province.

In the South Zone, 108 people tested positive including 37 in Lethbridge.
