Some of the changes that will come into effect Thursday include:
Quarantine for close contacts will shift from mandatory to recommended, while isolation for anyone with COVID-19 symptoms and for confirmed cases is still required.
Asymptomatic testing is no longer recommended. Testing will continue for symptomatic people.
In part two of the transition, beginning Aug. 16, the following changes will take effect:
Provincial mandatory mask orders will be lifted.
Isolation following a positive COVID-19 test will no longer be required, but strongly recommended.
Isolation hotels and quarantine support will no longer be available.
Testing will be available for Albertans with symptoms when it is needed to help direct patient care decisions.
Public health will shift its focus to investigating severe cases of COVID-19.
Maybe I'm being naive but I don't think they'd have the trouble of stopping the covid theater just to start lockdowns again.
If we had an election this fall then I'd understand the motive as it's exactly what pm blackface is doing federally.
Copying Texas and Florida was very popular here in Alberta so they're doubling down. I'm just glad someone is doing this here in Canada.
I don’t trust politicians but I voted for him because I despise the NDP. They’d have locked us down 1000 times harder.
I’m also thankful to be in Alberta. We, together with SK, need to separate from Canada.
Alberta will start treating covid like the flu. ABOUT TIME!
Stop the hysteria and the waste of health resources.
The media and the coward sheep will go down HARD on Alberta, I hope Kenney will have the balls to not surrender this time.
🙏

Selective information.
At least AB publishes the data: https://www.alberta.ca/stats/covid-19-alberta-statistics.htm
For the 20-39 age range, 26 have died so far. 26 over 86,987 cases - or 0.029%.
Of those 26. How many fell off a latter with covid in their system or were hit by a car then declared a "covid death"
It doesn't matter, the probability is very low regardless.
People afraid of a 0.029% "risk" would be scared of a 0.0001% as well.
