Alberta Health announced 50 additional cases of COVID-19 in the province Sunday, with active cases in the province now at 422.

In the Edmonton zone, active cases now sit at 169 and there are 526 recoveries.
In the rest of the province, there are 22 active cases in each the North and South zones, three cases in the Central zone, and two cases in unknown zones.
There are now 46 people in hospital, seven of whom are in intensive care, Alberta Health said.
The province reported no additional deaths Sunday, leaving the number of Albertans who have lost their lives due to COVID-19 at 150.
