Just 3 active COVID-19 cases in Red Deer. Central Alberta flattening the curve. COVID-19 update

Information from covid19stats.alberta.ca
Of course we know this could change in a heartbeat, but it’s time to celebrate the good job Central Albertans have done. Through successful distancing, thorough hand-washing, and other measures, Central Albertans are managing to hold the number of COVID cases flat.
For several days the total number of cases has remained in the mid 70’s. That means as people are recovering from COVID-19 the number of “active” cases is plummeting.
The number of COVID-19 cases in Central Alberta is holding at 77.
Most of Central Alberta’s cases are in Red Deer and the surrounding Red Deer County but only 4 of these cases are “active”.
The only fatality so far in Central Alberta was a woman in her 80’s from Camrose. 61 Central Albertans have recovered meaning there are just 16 active cases. Again, 10 of those active cases are in Red Deer. Here’s the Central Alberta breakdown.
- Red Deer City – 32 cases – 3 Active – 29 Recovered
- Red Deer County – 12 cases – 2 Active – 10 Recovered
- Wetaskiwin City – 7 cases – All Recovered
- Mountain View County – 5 cases – All Recovered
- Settler County – 4 cases – 3 Active – 1 Recovered
- Lacombe County – 3 cases – All Recovered
- Ponoka County 2 cases – 1 Active – 1 Recovered
- Lacombe City – 2 cases – 2 Recovered
- Camrose City – 2 cases – 1 Recovered – 1 Death (Woman in her 80’s)
- Beaver County – 2 cases – 2 Recovered

- Windburn County – 1 case – Recovered
- Vermilion River County – 1 case – Recovered
- Kneehill County – 1 case – Recovered
- Clearwater County – 1 Case – Recovered
- MD of Wainwright – 1 Case – Active
The graph below shows the good fortune of the Central Alberta zone thus far. The rate of cases per 100,000 people is almost half that of the second lowest region.
The following graph shows the number and ages of Albertans who have been hospitalized, who have spend time in Intensive Care, and also the number and age of those who have died. Just 3 people under 60 years old have died to this point in time.
Here are the total numbers for the province.

Made in Alberta! Province makes it easier to support local products with Buy Local program

Show your Alberta side. Buy Local. |
When the going gets tough, Albertans stick together. That’s why Alberta’s government is launching a new campaign to benefit hard-working Albertans.
Global uncertainty is threatening the livelihoods of hard-working Alberta farmers, ranchers, processors and their families. The ‘Buy Local’ campaign, recently launched by Alberta’s government, encourages consumers to eat, drink and buy local to show our unified support for the province’s agriculture and food industry.
The government’s ‘Buy Local’ campaign encourages consumers to buy products from Alberta’s hard-working farmers, ranchers and food processors that produce safe, nutritious food for Albertans, Canadians and the world.
“It’s time to let these hard-working Albertans know we have their back. Now, more than ever, we need to shop local and buy made-in-Alberta products. The next time you are grocery shopping or go out for dinner or a drink with your friends or family, support local to demonstrate your Alberta pride. We are pleased tariffs don’t impact the ag industry right now and will keep advocating for our ag industry.”
Alberta’s government supports consumer choice. We are providing tools to help folks easily identify Alberta- and Canadian-made foods and products. Choosing local products keeps Albertans’ hard-earned dollars in our province. Whether it is farm-fresh vegetables, potatoes, honey, craft beer, frozen food or our world-renowned beef, Alberta has an abundance of fresh foods produced right on our doorstep.
Quick facts
- This summer, Albertans can support local at more than 150 farmers’ markets across the province and meet the folks who make, bake and grow our food.
- In March 2023, the Alberta government launched the ‘Made in Alberta’ voluntary food and beverage labelling program to support local agriculture and food sectors.
- Through direct connections with processors, the program has created the momentum to continue expanding consumer awareness about the ‘Made in Alberta’ label to help shoppers quickly identify foods and beverages produced in our province.

Province to expand services provided by Alberta Sheriffs: New policing option for municipalities

Expanding municipal police service options |
Proposed amendments would help ensure Alberta’s evolving public safety needs are met while also giving municipalities more options for local policing.
As first announced with the introduction of the Public Safety Statutes Amendment Act, 2024, Alberta’s government is considering creating a new independent agency police service to assume the police-like duties currently performed by Alberta Sheriffs. If passed, Bill 49 would lay additional groundwork for the new police service.
Proposed amendments to the Police Act recognize the unique challenges faced by different communities and seek to empower local governments to adopt strategies that effectively respond to their specific safety concerns, enhancing overall public safety across the province.
If passed, Bill 49 would specify that the new agency would be a Crown corporation with an independent board of directors to oversee its day-to-day operations. The new agency would be operationally independent from the government, consistent with all police services in Alberta. Unlike the Alberta Sheriffs, officers in the new police service would be directly employed by the police service rather than by the government.
“With this bill, we are taking the necessary steps to address the unique public safety concerns in communities across Alberta. As we work towards creating an independent agency police service, we are providing an essential component of Alberta’s police framework for years to come. Our aim is for the new agency is to ensure that Albertans are safe in their communities and receive the best possible service when they need it most.”
Additional amendments would allow municipalities to select the new agency as their local police service once it becomes fully operational and the necessary standards, capacity and frameworks are in place. Alberta’s government is committed to ensuring the new agency works collaboratively with all police services to meet the province’s evolving public safety needs and improve law enforcement response times, particularly in rural communities. While the RCMP would remain the official provincial police service, municipalities would have a new option for their local policing needs.
Once established, the agency would strengthen Alberta’s existing policing model and complement the province’s current police services, which include the RCMP, Indigenous police services and municipal police. It would help fill gaps and ensure law enforcement resources are deployed efficiently across the province.
