From November 18th- December 3rd, 2020 we are urging all designated visitors to take a 14-day circuit break from visiting our residents at Clover Living. The number of Covid-19 cases in Calgary is rising significantly each day. We want to prevent any potential outbreak from family visitations while the overall community transmission is so high. If any designated visitor still would like to schedule a visitation with your loved one during this time, please contact Jacky Tong ([email protected]) or Grace Su ([email protected]) at 403-290-1088 to assure all measures are taken for a safe visitation. Thank you on behalf of the Clover Living Team!

Update from the Chief Medical Officer of Health, Dr. Deena Hinshaw: Over the past 24hrs we’ve identified 1,155 new cases & completed 17K+ tests. Our positivity ...rate sits at about 6.5% & we have 10,655 active cases. There are 310 in hospital including 58 in ICU. I must report 11 new deaths over the past 24 hrs. 11 Albertans are gone & their friends & families are mourning. Severe outcomes are not limited to those at the end of their lives & it is a mistake to think so. This week, 2 individuals in their 30s died as a result of COVID-19. The average age of COVID hospitalization is dropping. About 1/4 hospitalized & 1/6 in ICU have no pre-existing conditions. Having a chronic condition is common, including high blood pressure & diabetes. Almost 1/4 of Albertans 20+ have a chronic condition, 10% have 2, 8% have 3+. Older adults are more likely to have medical conditions. For those 50+, 65% have 1+ chronic conditions. More than 1/2 of men 50+ & almost 70% of men 65+, have high blood pressure. That should not be a death sentence. Our actions protect these people as well as ourselves. As more COVID-19 patients require ICU, AHS is able to add additional capacity. AHS has readied additional beds in Edmonton & spaces in Calgary will be ready if needed. But creating capacity means stopping or delaying other services & this is the impact we want to avoid. Recently, AHS has had designated family/support people intentionally not disclose COVID-19 symptom status. This puts loved ones & teams caring for them at greater risk of illness. Pls be honest. If this continues, AHS will have to consider further limiting support & visitation. There are currently active alerts or outbreaks in 294 schools, about 12% of AB schools, including 67 schools currently on the watch list. In-school transmission has likely occurred in 166 schools. Of these, about 87 had only one new case as a result. In the past week, we have more new cases than in any previous week to date. Contact tracers are working heroically to address the backlog, but with the current volume, they are fighting an uphill battle. There are more people & cases out there that we don’t know about. We must all continue to do our part. If you test positive follow the directions you’re given. Visit the AHS online portal & submit the info for known close contacts. I know many worry about being blamed or stigmatized & I want to stress this process is anonymous. If you receive a text that indicates you’re a close contact, follow the instructions & respond. Stay home & isolate for 14 days. Monitor for symptoms & arrange for testing if needed. Otherwise, do not leave your property. If you’re an event organizer, notify attendees ASAP. Our actions, such as going out while symptomatic, have consequences to those around us. Every new case is a threat to our health, the health of others & our health care system. Every new case jeopardizes businesses & activities that could potentially face more measures. This weekend, I encourage everyone to abide by all public health measures. We must all do our part to bend the curve. Everyone is carrying heavy burdens right now. Please be compassionate with yourself & with others. We can only get through this by working together.

Update from the Chief Medical Officer of Health, Dr. Deena Hinshaw: Thank you for quickly adapting to the measures that came into effect Friday. It is critical ...we all do our part. Over the past 24hrs we have identified 860 new cases & completed 12K+ tests. Our positivity rate is 7% & our active cases have risen to 10,031. There are 264 people in hospital with 57 in ICU. I have heard questions about how COVID hospitalizations & ICU numbers compare to influenza season & why our current acute care burden is so challenging. There are several differences between COVID-19 & influenza. We’ve had 49 acute care COVID outbreaks with 42 deaths in 7.5 months, despite extraordinary measures. The worst acute care outbreak numbers related to influenza in the past 5 years, 40 outbreaks with 13 deaths in a full year. Processes that enhance safety, limit capacity. Isolation policies for patients with COVID-19 symptoms, confirmed cases or those exposed mean not using multi-bed rooms & more PPE. Staff who have COVID or symptoms that could be COVID or have been exposed are unable to work. As transmission rises, health care workers or their family members can be exposed. This impacts the system as services can not be operated without skilled workers to provide them. Continuing care outbreaks impact acute care as patient transfer is limited with outbreaks underway. I must report 20 new deaths over the past 24hrs. As cases rise, our deaths will rise. Each one of these people will be missed and mourned. The measures in place are literally a matter of life & death & the choices Albertans make now will determine our future in a few weeks. There are active alerts or outbreaks in 309 schools with 1,046 active cases. This including 65 schools on the watch list. In-school transmission has likely occurred in 151 schools 79 had only 1 new case result. When we drive community transmission down, we’ll see this in school numbers. Each case has on average 15 close contacts. That means with 1000 new cases a day, there are 15,000 new close contacts. It is impossible to call each one, which is why AHS has changed its processes and is using tech like the online portal & text notification. If you test positive, share your info, it is easy & anonymous. If you receive a text from AHS that you are a close contact, take the time to respond w/the option that matches your situation. This is critical to helping AHS prioritize phone calls where they matter most. I want to thank those adjusting their Diwali celebrations this year. Everyone’s holidays are looking different this year, but that doesn’t mean we can’t find joy or appreciate their meaning. One thing we can all take away from Diwali, is that light always overcomes the darkness. I know many are feeling the darkness of COVID-19. There is a lag time between actions & results, but if we follow public health measures, along with restrictions in our communities, we could start to see results in the next 1-2 weeks. We have power when we work together. 1.1 million+ AB have been immunized for influenza compared to about 940K at this time last year. We haven’t had 1 lab-confirmed case of seasonal influenza yet, meaning 0 related hospitalizations or deaths. In 2019-20, we had 8,470 lab-confirmed cases & 41 related deaths. I hope you see this as some light in the darkness. These results, of record vaccine uptake and no cases demonstrably show the power of us working together. There is no way around COVID-19 without this same power of collective action. We must continue to work together. Get COVID-19 updates at http://alberta.ca/COVID19
