Alberta reported 57 new cases of COVID-19 on Tuesday and one new death. Dr. Deena Hinshaw, the province's chief medical officer of health, said 38 additional variant cases were identified in the last 24 hours. There are now 1,773 active cases of COVID-19 in Alberta, the lowest number since Oct. 2, Hinshaw told a news conference. Alberta is watching transmission trends and severe outcomes, and monitoring the effectiveness of vaccines against the delta variant, Hinshaw said. Cases and vaccination numbers will no longer be reported on weekends, and reproduction values (R-values) will shift to two-week intervals.
