There are now 4,707 active cases of COVID-19 in Alberta.
Hospitalizations decreased slightly to 351, with 94 people now in the ICU.
Two additional deaths were reported on Monday.
Over the last 24 hours, more than 25,000 doses of COVID-19 vaccine were administered in the province.
Alberta is now approaching 67 per cent of the eligible population being vaccinated — which would put the province just three per cent away from triggering the two-week timer for entering Stage 3 of Alberta’s reopening plan.
