Today’s COVID-19 update was opened by Minister of Justice and Solicitor General Kaycee Madu who announced an increase in Community Peace Officers in municipalities around Alberta who will be able to enforce public health guidelines. All indoor social gatherings have now been banned, which can be enforced with fines starting at $1,000.
Dr. Deena Hinshaw provided updated case numbers in Alberta including 1,227 new cases identified in the last 24 hours, out of 16,200 tests. The provincial positivity rate sits at 7.6% and there are 14,217 active cases in Alberta at this time. 405 Albertans are hospitalized, with 86 people in the ICU. There have been 9 additional deaths reported in the last 24 hours.
At this time there are active alerts in 356 schools, making up about 15% of schools in the province, with 1,326 cases in those schools. 89 schools are on the ‘watch’ list. Starting on Monday, November 30th, students in grade 7 and above will be shifting to at-home learning.
Dr. Hinshaw also reminded Albertans that many of the restrictions for businesses in enhanced status areas are coming into effect today and urged all Albertans to exercise patience and kindness in the days ahead. In addition, she also offered clarification on guidance surrounding public health measures at places of worship, support groups such as Alcoholics Anonymous, and group performances.

Alberta’s chief medical officer of health and officials will provide an update on COVID-19 and the ongoing work to protect public health.

I have the right of mobility, and the right of assembly which are both protected by the Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
Alice and Hanna please read this whole article!
Make masks mandatory please!! Whitecourt went from 35 cases 2 weeks ago and made masks mandatory and they are down to just 7 active cases as of today! Tell me now that this doesn’t work. In a population double ours.
The cases have doubled in a week 😮
I am totally with Richelle on this. Make masks mandatory in public places. So how do we work this out for medical exemption? Personally if I have a medical condition that prevents me from wearing a mask, then Perhaps I shouldn't be going out into stores etc where I could contact this horrible virus.

Masks do NOT need to be mandatory. Wear one if you think they help YOU. People really need to stop trying to dictate ones own personal freedom to breath fresh air. No one is going around sneezing or coughing in anyone face 🤦🏼♀️
