Premier Jason Kenney says Alberta is into its third wave of COVID-19 and on Thursday warned that, in the race between variants and vaccines, the "variants are winning." "All of our leading indicators are telling us that we are now in a significant new wave of COVID-19. Kenney blamed Alberta's plunge into the third wave on those who continue to socialize, particularly indoors, despite public health guidance to the contrary. Variants of concern now account for one-third of active cases of COVID-19 in the province. "Here's the blunt reality that we simply cannot wish away right now: in the race between vaccines and variants of COVID-19, the variants are winning," Kenney said.
