He said where the numbers actually go largely depends on how Albertans behave.

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.
