Alberta has seen a decline in daily case counts since restrictions were imposed several weeks ago, with 387 new cases being identified on Tuesday.

Active cases, hospitalization numbers, the provincial R-Value, and positivity rate have also seen steady declines over the last few weeks.

Premier Kenney’s update is set to take place at 11:30 a.m.
