Albertans are now able to enjoy social gatherings without limits again and visit businesses without capacity restrictions. Children and youth are free to resume regular school life and enjoy activities without mandatory prior screening.
The provincial mandatory mask mandate has also ended, except in AHS facilities, continuing care and on public transit in order to protect vulnerable Albertans.
Mandatory isolation for COVID-19 core symptoms or a positive test result remains in place. Isolation periods are five days at home and five days of continued masking for fully vaccinated individuals, or 10 days for partially and unvaccinated individuals.
Step two
Now in effect:
- Remaining provincial school requirements (including cohorting) are removed.
- Screening prior to youth activities is no longer required.
- Capacity limits are lifted for all venues.
- Limits on social gatherings are removed.
- The provincial mask mandate is lifted in most settings. However, masking will still be required in the following high-risk settings: on public transit, at Alberta Health Services-operated and contracted facilities and all continuing care settings.
- Municipal bylaws may continue to be in effect.
- Albertans may wish to consider individual risk factors and choose to wear masks in other public indoor settings.
- Restrictions on interactive activities, liquor service and operating hours are lifted.
- Mandatory work-from-home requirement is removed.
Step three
To be determined based on hospitalization rates continuing to trend downwards.
- COVID-19-specific measures in continuing care and AHS facilities and on public transit will be removed.
- Mandatory isolation becomes a recommendation only.
