Another 732 new cases of COVID-19 have been confirmed in Alberta.
Those positive cases were reported out of about 13,000 tests which means a provincial positivity rate of about 5.5-per cent.
There are now 10,057 active cases in the province – a decline of 11 cases from Tuesday’s update.
Eleven additional deaths have also been reported in the past day with November proving to be an especially deadly month for COVID-19 patients in Alberta.

Currently, there are 287 patients in hospital with the virus, and 57 of them are being treated in the ICU.
Meanwhile, the community of Saddle Lake is now in a 2-week “circuit-breaker” shutdown as they deal with cases. Essential services will remain operating but businesses there are closed and council is urging residents to stay in their homes, sanitize often and wear masks.
