Outbreaks of COVID-19 at a High River meat processing plant and at long-term care facilities in the Calgary zone are dominating the provincial tally of novel coronavirus cases.

Dr. Deena Hinshaw, Alberta’s chief medical officer of health, on Wednesday announced there have been 375 COVID-19 cases and 44 deaths in continuing-care facilities across Alberta. Meanwhile, a single High River business — the Cargill meat-packing plant — now has 440 workers who have tested positive for the novel coronavirus and one death.

“I know many Albertans, including me, want the numbers to stop growing and for outbreaks to end as soon as they are identified. Believe me when I say we are doing everything possible to limit the spread of this virus both within outbreak settings and across Alberta,” said Hinshaw.

She said that many of the 306 new COVID-19 cases announced Wednesday are linked to outbreaks at the Cargill plant, the JBS beef production facility in Brooks and other breakouts of the deadly virus.
