Alberta is reporting seven new deaths related to COVID-19 today, its highest single-day death toll to date.
They include four new deaths at the McKenzie Town continuing care centre in Calgary, bringing that facility's total to 17.
Alberta's chief medical officer Dr. Deena Hinshaw says new mandatory mask requirements are being put in place for health workers at long-term care sites, and staff at continuing care homes will be prevented from moving from facility to facility starting next week.
The province reported 49 new cases of COVID-19 today for a total of 1,500.
