Alberta Health Minister Jason Copping will provide an update on COVID-19 in the province on Wednesday.

The province's chief medical officer of health Dr. Deena Hinshaw said last week that she would be off for two weeks.

Alberta Health released estimated COVID-19 data Tuesday, which shows the number of people in hospital with the disease declined over the long weekend.

According to the estimated numbers, there are now about 1,380 people being treated in hospital with COVID-19, a drop from 1,494 patients in Alberta hospitals on Friday.

The number of people being treated for COVID-19 in intensive care units also dropped — from 116 patients Friday to about 95 Tuesday.

It’s not known how many deaths were reported to Alberta Health over the long weekend. The province said full reporting will resume on Wednesday.
