Jason Kenney promised last week the government’s COVID-19 cabinet committee would vote to remove the province’s vaccine passport — the Restrictions Exemption Program — early this week, despite the numbers of cases, hospitalizations and deaths in the province.
Further word has yet to come.“We can — and must — get on with our lives, restore our freedoms, and live with joy, not fear,” the premier tweeted Friday.Kenney reinforced his message on the Roy Green Show on Saturday, saying a plan will be released early this week to lift nearly all public health measures.“It will be data-based.
It will be cautious, but it will be moving us back to getting our life back to normal to the greatest extent possible,” Kenney said. “We will be making decisions and releasing a plan to lift almost all public health measures.
We will be releasing that plan early (next) week, and it will start with lifting the proof of vaccination program.” COVID-19: Medical experts, restaurant owner raising concerns about lifting restrictions in Alberta On Friday, when the premier made the announcement, there were 1,584 Albertans in hospital with COVID-19.
