SUMMARY OF CURRENT PROVINCIAL HEALTH MEASURES
Updated July 4, 2022
The Government of Alberta has lifted all mandatory public health restrictions on June 14 as the Omicron BA.2 wave subsides and COVID-19 hospitalizations continues to decline.
Work is underway to prepare for the fall and winter respiratory virus season. This includes maintaining surveillance and testing programs and preparing to expand acute care capacity for short-term surges.
All other current restrictions, including a province wide indoor mask mandate, remain in place. For details on current health measures and exemptions please visit alberta.ca/covid-19-public-health-actions.
