Calgary doctors and a local community group say more action needs to be taken to deal with the growing number of COVID-19 cases in some parts of the city.

Calgary Mayor Naheed Nenshi is calling on the provincial government to take “bold action” either Monday or Tuesday to stop the spread of COVID-19.

On Sunday, AHS said an additional five patients on the Rockyview General Hospital's transition unit have tested positive.

On Sunday, the resort began limiting capacity by not allowing additional vehicles once the parking lot is full.

"Normally (people) would have started hibernating, but they've just said they're feeling so isolated," Sheryl Savard said.

A flyer sent to residents of Alberta MLA Miranda Rosin riding is being criticized for stating that "the worst of the COVID-19 health pandemic is behind us.” The UCP Caucus says it was written in September, before the latest spike in cases.

Alberta Health reported an additional nine deaths Saturday connected to COVID19, bringing the total number of deaths in the province as a result of the virus to 471.

"We are saddened to report that one patient linked to the outbreak has died," AHS spokesperson Kristin Whitworth said in a statement.

This is the second time the province has seen more than 1,000 new cases in a 24-hour period. The last time the province surpassed 1,000 daily cases was last Saturday, when 1,026 were reported.

With positive news coming from two pharmaceutical companies in the last week regarding coronavirus vaccines, Alberta says it anticipates receiving upwards of 686,000 doses.
