Premier Jason Kenney says forecast models for the COVID-19 crisis in Alberta predict anywhere from 400 to 6,600 deaths in the months to come.
The premier spoke to the province in a televised address tonight.
Kenney says where the numbers go depends largely on the behaviour of Albertans.
Alberta is under strict public health orders that clamp down on non-essential businesses and restrict public gatherings to no more than 15 people.
Kenney says those orders will be in place at least until the end of the month, with social distancing rules likely in place until the end of May.
