Alberta’s COVID-19 death count grew by 14 on Wednesday, including that of a person in their 20s from the South Zone, while the number of patients in hospital continued to gradually trend downward, according to Wednesday’s data update.
Seventy-nine Albertans have now died due to COVID-19 over the past seven days.
The deaths reported on Wednesday were spread across several days and bring the total number of COVID-19 deaths up to 3,804. The death of the person in their 20s was the 24th of a person under 30 since the start of the pandemic.
The remaining deaths were in individuals ranging in age from in their 40s to more than 80 years old.
The latest initial count of patients with COVID-19 in hospital sits at 1,500, but is also likely to rise slightly in the coming days due to routine data revisions for accuracy and reporting delays.
Tuesday’s count, initially reported as 1,538, was revised to 1,561.
The 30 highest patient counts have all come in the last 30 days, including a record-high 1,676 on Feb. 7.
