Albertans 60 and older are eligible for a third dose of the vaccine starting Monday
CBC News · Posted: Dec 06, 2021 9:25 AM MT | Last Updated: 39 minutes ago

The latest COVID-19 numbers:

The number of people in Alberta confirmed with the omicron variant of COVID-19 has jumped to 11 as of Monday, up from four on Friday.
Early Monday, Alberta's chief medical officer of health, Dr. Deena Hinshaw, tweeted there were 12 cases but later revised it to 11.
Omicron was named a variant of concern by the World Health Organization. Its emergence has prompted the return of border closures, travel restrictions and stricter testing requirements across the world.
Hinshaw said earlier in the day that all but one of the confirmed cases in Alberta have been among returning travellers, and the remaining a household contact, with all reporting only mild symptoms and recovering at home.
Some household members of those diagnosed with the variant have tested positive for COVID-19, but omicron has not been confirmed, Hinshaw said. One household contact recently attended an elementary school in Alberta Health Services' north zone and one attended a high school, Hinshaw said.
Alberta Health Minister Jason Copping said at a press conference at the University of Calgary on Monday that the province is watching the variant very closely and will see if more measures are needed based on Hinshaw's advice.
New COVID-19 numbers from the weekend are expected to be reported by the province on Monday afternoon. CBC Calgary and CBC Edmonton will publish them online.

The Alberta government reported Monday:
There were 187 new COVID cases over the weekend.
The total number of active cases in Alberta is 4,374.
Alberta Health says there are 366 people with COVID in hospital, including 72 in intensive care.
The province recorded five new deaths over the weekend.
A total of 3,263 Albertans have died of COVID since the pandemic began.
329,543 Albertans are considered to have recovered.
There are active alerts or outbreaks in 131 schools.
Alberta is reporting an R-value below 1. The R-value is the average number of COVID-19 infections transmitted by each diagnosed case.

An R-value below 1.0 means transmission is no longer growing. Provincewide, the R-value for Nov. 8 to 28 was 0.88, with a confidence interval between 0.84 and 0.91.
The R-value for the Edmonton zone is 0.95, and in Calgary, 0.90. In the rest of Alberta the rate is 0.80.
