Premier Jason Kenney will be joined by Health Minister Tyler Shandro and Doug Schweitzer, minister of jobs, economy and innovation, at an 11:30 a.m. news conference to discuss the plan. Hinshaw noted that the recent decline in new and active cases is the result of people following health guidelines. There are currently a total of 12,078 active cases across the province, a drop of 52 per cent from the peak earlier this month, Hinshaw said. Most Alberta students, except those in the Regional Municipality of Wood Buffalo where cases remain elevated, returned to in-person learning on Tuesday. At that time, Alberta had 23,623 active cases, the highest total since the pandemic began, and hospitals were treating 671 patients including 150 in intensive-care beds.
