I want to offer a short explanation about today’s #COVID19AB case information reported online. On August 14, 103 new cases were reported. Online data reports 177 total cases and 103 new cases. (1/4)
Case numbers historically go up and down a little each day as probable cases are reconciled. Today's numbers include 74 cases from before Aug.14 that were reconciled in the database on this day. This is a much larger than usual number of reconciled cases reported in 1 day. (2/4)
To be clear, these 74 cases are not attributed to new case information from August 14, 15 or 16. On August 14, 103 new cases were reported, August 15, 86 new cases were reported and August 16, 96 cases were reported. (3/4)
Alberta Health is continuing to analyze the information and I will be able to answer questions about this data during tomorrow’s media availability. (4/4)
