With confidence that Alberta’s COVID-19 “numbers continue to decline rapidly,” Premier Jason Kenney announced Saturday the province will move forward to Step 2 of its reopening plan come March 1.
The announcement was made during the official opening ceremony of the Grande Prairie Regional Hospital in northwestern Alberta.
Step 2 of the government’s plan to reopen includes:
-Provincial mask mandate will be lifted except in high-risk settings, including on public transit, at AHS-operated and contracted facilities, and all continuing care settings
-Any remaining school requirements removed (for example: kindergarten to Grade 6 cohorting)
-Youth screening activities for entertainment and sport activities removed
-Capacity on all large venues and entertainment venues lifted
-Indoor and outdoor social gathering limits lifted
-Mandatory work-from-home requirements lifted
-Ending restrictions on liquor service and operating hours for bars and nightclubs
“We are in a position to safely move to Step 2 of our path back to normal and remove the vast majority of remaining public health measures in Alberta,” Kenney said.
