Total variant cases

The first P1 variant was identified in Alberta March 13 & added.

Alberta Health started tracking variant cases with a trend chart this month, they note: NOTE: People are identified as COVID-19 cases prior to variant of concern identification. As such, variant of concern reporting is delayed compared to date the case was reported to Alberta Health. All cases were screened for variants of concern starting at the beginning of February, 2021.

This may explain the change in how data was reported. As responses to previous inquiries are rarely responded to or do not provide the answer, new inquiry efforts to clarify are not pursued, data is just displayed based on their daily published #’s
