Edson Mayor Kevin Zahara said he should have been told over the long weekend that the outbreak was in his community.
“Of course, we saw that tweet that came out on Saturday, not everybody’s on Twitter, I found that really concerning that tweet was sent out saying, ‘Oh, we have a serious situation, but we’re not going to provide you with any details,'” said Zahara Tuesday. “Three days after the fact and I’m learning about this in the media was extremely frustrating.”
Zahara noted the location of the outbreaks would still not be public if it wasn’t for the company choosing to be transparent. He said that as of 11 a.m. Tuesday he had not yet had contact with Alberta Health Services (AHS) or Alberta Health. He had spoken to his local MLA.
