Kenney pleads with Peace Region residents to get vaccinated
Alberta Premier Jason Kenney pleaded to residents, particularly in the Peace Region to get vaccinated against COVID-19.
During his Tuesday COVID-19 news conference, Kenney and other public health officials announced that the ICU capacity in the North Zone is currently sitting at 100 per cent.
Because of this, patients in the North Zone have been transferred to larger centres, such as Edmonton and Calgary, in order to get the care they need.
While ICU beds are full in the North Zone, there have been rumors going around on social media about potential triage protocols potentially being implemented in Alberta in areas where hospitals are under pressure.
