Dr. Hinshaw reported Alberta's first presumptive case

Hinshaw empathized with Albertans, saying that because "this is something that we can’t see the end of," she understands why people would be feeling frustrated. 

“I sympathize. I too wish that it would just go away," she said. "Pandemic fatigue is a very real thing."

As of publication, the province has 1,415 active cases with 46 individuals hospitalized.
