In the last 24 hours, 162 new cases of COVID-19 have been confirmed in Alberta, bringing the total number in the province to 2,158.

There were 2,779 people tested in the last 24 hours and two more people died, bringing the total number of deaths in Alberta to 50.

One person who died was a woman in her 80s in the North zone at the Manoir Du Lac Retirement Home. The other was a man in his 70s in the Calgary zone at the High River Long Term Care unit.

A small electrical fire at the ministry Tuesday night caused a network issue which has temporarily limited data reporting, including the number of recovered cases and the breakdown of cases by zones across the province.

Dr Deena Hinshaw chief medical officer of health for Alberta said the system should be fully restored by Friday.

The last time Alberta Health's map was updated was April 14. It shows eight confirmed cases of COVID-19 in Jasper, four of which are active, with three recoveries and one death.
