On a day when Alberta reported a record number of 406 new COVID-19 cases, the province also said a government minister has tested positive for the illness and Premier Jason Kenney is in self-isolation. Allard recently had a close contact who tested positive, the statement said, and has been self-isolating since being told on the weekend. Likewise, the premier "immediately entered self-isolation" upon learning of Allard's positive test, Fleming said. Alberta broke two COVID-19 records on Wednesday, for the most new cases in a single day, 406, and for the most active cases. O'Toole tested positive for COVID-19 a month ago and has since recovered.
