The City of Red Deer now has 207 confirmed active cases of COVID-19.

This is up 14 cases from Saturday’s report, according to geospatial mapping on the provincial government’s website.

On Sunday, the Government of Alberta identified 644 new cases of the virus in the province. There are now 7,698 active cases in Alberta, to go along with the 136,659 recovered cases. An additional three deaths were reported as well, bringing the total to 1,983.

Provincially, there are currently 277 people in hospital due to COVID-19 – 63 of those individuals are in an intensive care unit. In Alberta’s central zone, 33 are hospitalized, with five of those individuals in an ICU.

The central zone has 700 active cases, while the Calgary zone has 3,565, the Edmonton zone has 1,734, the north zone has 855 and the south zone has 815. The locations of 29 active cases are unknown.
