Alberta’s Chief Medical Officer for Health Dr. Deena Hinshaw said that cases of the COVID-19 Omicron variant are rapidly spreading across Alberta in a similar way to the rest of the world, with doubling times of just two to three days, much faster than in the Delta. variant. Because of that, priority will be given to contact tracing case investigations for individuals working in continuing care and healthcare and the ability to test CRP will be reserved for high-risk groups.
