Alberta’s revised coronavirus projection models released on Tuesday predict the province will reach its peak in the number of COVID-19 cases by mid-May.
Premier Jason Kenney unveiled the updated modelling on Tuesday, which included a new “low” modelling scenario, during a daily briefing with health officials.
Under the new low forecast, an estimated 298 Albertans will require hospitalization and 95 will need critical care when the virus reaches its peak.
Kenney said hospitalizations and admissions to intensive care units (ICU) remain “well below” initial model predictions.
From Edmonton, Alberta Premier Jason Kenney delivers an address on the province’s response to the ongoing COVID-19 (coronavirus) outbreak. His address includes some details about projections from Alberta Health Services on the possible impact of COVID-19 in the province.
