On Friday, health officials stated 28000 seniors under long-term care had been vaccinated. At least 50 percent of the elderly population age at least 75 years have been vaccinated or scheduled for a jab.

Alberta has met the benchmark for hospitalization phases 2 and 3. She is free to move the second step of the reopening program as early as Monday, 1st.

Provincial chief medical officer Dr. Deena Hinshaw also looked at key indicators like new infections, R-value, and positivity rate when deciding to move forward with the reopening.

About 430 persons are infected with a variant, with 422 with the U.K variant, while 8 have the South African Variant.

Currently, Alberta is looking at an R-value of 1.03, which means at least one person, on average, has contracted the virus from an active case.

The good news is that the province is looking at a positivity rate of 4.03 percent, down from the previous 5.3 percent. Health officials said they would issue another update on 1st Mar.

Some health officials want the government to delay its plans to relax measures. On Friday, it was confirmed that there are another three deaths linked to the Olymel meatpacking plant, Red Deer.

Health Canada Sanctioned the use of AstraZeneca last Friday. This paves the way for many more inoculations using the vaccine in the coming days.
