Premier Jason Kenney announced Alberta will send medical supplies to other provinces as the provincial total for COVID-19 cases hit 1,569.
Premier Jason Kenney announced Saturday the province would be sending personal protective equipment or PPE to other provinces battling COVID-19.
Kenney made the announcement from an Alberta Health Services (AHS) warehouse while espousing the province’s readiness for the pandemic.
“Our numbers are far lower than the hardest hit areas of Europe, the United States and significantly lower than we’ve seen in provinces like Quebec and Ontario,” he said.
Kenney said Alberta is so far outperforming the probable scenario of models released earlier this week, which predicted as many as 800,000 infections.
“We are at about one quarter of the modelled levels under the probable scenario for today, and that is very good news,” he said, adding it was not reason to halt collective efforts to stop the spread.
