COVID-19

Alberta reported 399 new COVID-19 cases yesterday with 47 of them being a variant strain. There are now 254 patients being treated in hospital with 37 patients in the ICU.

Alberta’s top doctor addressed the province yesterday and announced that the AstraZeneca vaccine is now available to Albertans aged 50 to 64 years old. It’s also available to Indigenous people aged 35 to 49. The province has administered over 300,000 vaccines and just over 90,000 Albertans are fully immunized.

Edmonton Oilers

The Edmonton Oilers dominated the Ottawa Senators last night with a score of 7 – 1. Leon Draisaitl led the team in scoring with a hattrick and 5 points in total. Captain Connor McDavid earned himself a highlight reel, “between the legs” assist on one of the goals. After this win, the Oilers have extended their win streak against the Senators to 6 games in a row.

The Edmonton Oilers will take on Ottawa once again tomorrow at 7:00 PM.
