Presumptive cases are ones that have been detected in Alberta’s lab, but not confirmed by Canada’s national microbiology lab in Winnipeg.
A man in his 40s from the Edmonton area was confirmed on Sunday as having contracted COVID-19.
He had recently travelled to the United States, but health officials believe the source of the infection is more likely to have been a travel companion who was on a previous voyage of a Grand Princess cruise ship now docked off California.
There are more than 60 confirmed cases in Canada spread out between Ontario, Quebec, British Columbia and Alberta.
