Albertaās chief medical officer of health Dr. Deena Hinshaw, along with Premier Jason Kenney, provided an update on the province’s COVID-19 situation. It was announced that the province has ordered all non-essential businesses to close due to the pandemic.
The provincial government announced some big changes Friday as the number of confirmed COVID-19 cases rose to 542 in Alberta.
Kenney said the restriction on mass gatherings was being tightened. People can no longer gather in groups of under 50; they must be smaller than 15. That includes indoor and outdoor events, the premier said, like weddings and funerals. He also stressed the two-metre social distancing rule must be observed.
