Premier Jason Kenney said there will be an announcement “early next week” on the date for Phase 2 of Alberta’s relaunch strategy. “Final decisions have not yet been taken,” he said Wednesday.
Provincial officials previously said the target date for Phase 2 was June 19 but the exact date has not yet been confirmed. Phase 1 launched on May 14 in most of Alberta, except for Calgary and Brooks, where there were a higher number of COVID-19 cases and outbreaks.
The first stage saw restaurants, pubs, retail stores, hair salons, museums, art galleries, daycares, day camps, summer school and places of worship open their doors with enhanced cleaning and physical distancing protocols and with capacity limitations.
