EDMONTON -- Alberta reported 300 cases of COVID-19 on Sunday, and 54 cases of the B.1.1.7 COVID-19 virus variant.
This is the largest number of variant cases report in Alberta on a single day. The previous high was 36 on two days, including Saturday, however variant cases can be a mix of historical and new cases, so it's not clear how many of the cases are new.
A total of 8,100 laboratory tests were completed.
