Alberta has recorded 81 new cases of COVID-19 in the last 24 hours and two more deaths, bringing the total number to 1,732 confirmed cases and 46 deaths. Anyone in Alberta with fever, cough, shortness of breath, runny nose or sore throat can be tested for COVID-19. So far, 77,007 Albertans have been tested for COVID-19, but the province's testing capacity has grown over the last two weeks. Because of the outbreaks in continuing care facilities, the government has announced that all workers at Alberta's continuing care homes would be required to wear masks at all times when providing direct patient care or working in patient-care areas within two metres of other people. The province will also require all workers in continuing care facilities to work at only one site, to help prevent the spread of illness between facilities.
