Transportation delays cause capacity issues at Alberta morgues

EDMONTON — Alberta Health Services says after experiencing capacity issues at a pair of morgues in the province, the issue has now been resolved.

In a Tweet on Monday, AHS says due to transportation delays to funeral homes, The Royal Alexandria Hospital and the University of Alberta Hospital did experience temporary capacity issues.

“When temporary capacity challenges happen, AHS engages with funeral homes to ease pressure on our hospital morgues,” AHS said on Twitter. “Funeral homes have ample capacity in the zone to assist AHS with the transfer of the deceased.”

AHS concluded the Twitter thread saying the COVID situation in Alberta is extremely serious and urged anyone who hasn’t yet got vaccinated to do so.
