The health official said Alberta currently has 1,269 active cases linked to COVID-19 virus variants.

"What we know is that in other places where variant strains have become dominant, additional restrictions have been required," she said.

"If spread escalates, if we're seeing the spread and the transmission of our cases, and particularly variant cases, continuing to rise, it may be possible, it may be necessary, to bring in additional restrictions."
