- AHS Acute Care Outbreaks in Alberta provides more information on outbreaks in hospitals.
- Shelters, correctional facilities and group homes are reported publicly when there are 5 or more cases.
- Outbreaks are declared over when 4 weeks have passed since the last case was identified, so not all outbreaks listed below have current transmission happening.
