“This limited easing of restrictions is possible thanks to the efforts of Albertans over the past few weeks,” said premier Kenney in a press release. “But, we need to be careful that we don’t reduce too early and risk the steady improvements we’ve made since November. ”
In addition to this, people may now hold outdoor social gatherings of up to 10 people and funerals may now be able to safely include 20 people.
Indoor gatherings will still be prohibited, and people must still abide by social distancing and mask mandates, but we think this is a major step!
Just remember that with great power, comes great responsibility. Alberta COVID restrictions are meant to protect us, so it’s important that we continue to follow them! This will be over soon, but until then, go get your hair cut, roast some s’mores with your pals and wash your dang hands!
