This is an Alberta Emergency Alert. Clearwater County has updated a wildfire alert. This alert is in effect for southwest Clearwater County, near Highway 734, just north of the junction with highway 584, updated to include properties west of Range Road 80, and north of the James River. There is an out of control wildfire near highway 734, about 3 km northwest of the highway 584 junction in southwest Clearwater County. All campers, traffic and anyone in the backcountry that is within 10 km of highway 734, near the highway 584 junction should leave the area immediately. Residents in the area must prepare for a possible evacuation. There is no mandatory evacuation for residents at this time. Everyone must avoid the area so wildfire crews can action this fire.

With the Andes hantavirus outbreak generating significant media coverage, I want to reassure Albertans that the risk in our province remains very low. There were no Albertans onboard the MV Hondius cruise ship. Unlike other jurisdictions, only two Albertans were potentially exposed while travelling on a flight. They remain healthy, symptom-free, and are isolating at home, with health officials checking in daily. Anyone else considered low risk has been contacted and is monitoring for symptoms. It is important to remember that person-to-person transmission of this virus has only been documented following prolonged close contact. There is no evidence that asymptomatic individuals can spread the virus to others. While the risk in Alberta remains very low, we will continue monitoring the situation closely to help protect Albertans.
