Alberta Health has released a comprehensive list of all the care homes across the province where a COVID-19 outbreak has been declared. “I know the word outbreak may seem alarming… but it is important to remember, the outbreaks we are posting are any sites that there are two or more cases,” chief medical officer of health Dr.
Deena Hinshaw said. According to Hinshaw, an outbreak is declared when two staff members or residents have tested positive for the novel coronavirus.
A “precautionary outbreak” is declared if just one person tests positive. The outbreak will only be lifted once there are no new positive cases for four weeks.
