Alberta reported 164 new cases of COVID-19 and two more deaths Monday. Across the province, 50 people were being treated in hospital for COVID-19, including 10 in ICU beds. An outbreak at the Calgary Kidanemehret Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahdo Church has accounted for 57 new cases, while the South Park Walmart Supercentre in Edmonton reported 12 staff members have tested positive. Hinshaw said Monday it's not clear if the staff members were exposed at work, or if there is a common exposure outside of the workplace. Hinshaw and Education Minister Adriana LaGrange will update Albertans on school re-entry plans and federal education funding for COVID-19 on Wednesday at 11 a.m.
