Alberta Health Minister Jason Copping will join chief medical officer of health Dr. Deena Hinshaw Wednesday to provide an update on the COVID-19 situation in the province.

During the last weekly update, Hinshaw would not directly say if Alberta was in a sixth wave of the COVID-19 pandemic.

“What is the magnitude of this rise (in transmissions)? How long will it last? Those are the questions we don’t know the answers to yet,” Hinshaw said on April 13.

She recommended Albertans mask up in public and take extra steps to protect themselves and others as COVID-19 transmissions rise.

One day earlier, chief public health officer Dr. Theresa Tam confirmed Canada is in a sixth wave of COVID-19.
