Dr. Deena Hinshaw did not provide a daily update today (Tuesday April 7). In lieu of the usual daily provincial press conference, Premier Jason Kenney will hold a televised address starting at 6 p.m. to discuss the province's COVID-19 projections and the plan of action for the weeks and months to come.

"We will be providing some of the modelling done by Alberta Health Services that shows us when we might hit the peak and how well prepared we are for that," says Kenney. "I ask people to be prepared for what can be some very challenging numbers as we look at the prospective damage that this virus could still do in our province."

On Wednesday, the province expects to release more details on the modelling and the province's ability to cope in terms of the capacity of the health system and medical supplies.
