Alberta chief medical officer of health Dr. Deena Hinshaw says despite a steep increase in cases in the Calgary zone and the South zone – due to the outbreaks in meat packing facilities – the curve has flattened, in general.
The Cargill meat packing plant near High River has had 946 cases, the JBS meat plant in Brooks has had 566, and Harmony Beef in Balzac has had 38 cases of COVID-19.
