Alberta moving to stage two of relaunch

Testing data shows active COVID-19 cases in Alberta are lower than expected. Stage two of the relaunch strategy can safely begin on June 12.  Safety remains the top priority. More businesses, sport and recreation services can open. Some larger gatherings will be permitted. In all cases, public health guidance must be followed.  

The success of stage two will determine when Alberta progresses to stage three. Factors are: active cases, infection rates, health-care system capacity, cases in hospital and intensive care.
