AHS reports 26 COVID deaths in Alberta including three in Lethbridge

Feb 4, 2022 | 4:11 PM

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

2,086 cases were confirmed across the province, bringing the total to 503,433. Of those, 32,711 cases are active while 467,088 people have recovered.

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, 243 people tested positive with 69 in Lethbridge and 67 in Medicine Hat.

Active infections in the region decreased by 10 and in the city by 15.
