There are another 27 cases of COVID-19 confirmed in the province, but none were recorded in the South Zone.

Medicine Hat is currently showing one active case and 35 recovered cases for a total of 36 cases.

In Brooks, the update shows 1,117 total cases — one active case and 1,107 recovered. There are nine deaths in Brooks.

Those numbers are the same as yesterday, but CHAT News is seeking clarification on the total for both cities. They represent a decrease in cases since the Saturday update, though it is not uncommon for cases to be reclassified between zones as more information about the patient becomes available.

Cypress County is showing one active cases and 20 recovered, while the County of Newell is showing one active case and 19 recovered.
