Alberta imposing provincewide COVID-19 restrictions, vaccine passport system amid surge in cases, hospitalizations
Albertans who are not vaccinated cannot socialize indoors with anyone outside their household beginning Thursday. Fully vaccinated people may only have social interactions indoors with one other household to a maximum of 10 people, all of which must also be vaccinated.
Children under 12 don’t have any indoor gathering restrictions.
Albertans who live alone can have two close contacts with distancing between them in indoor public settings.
But anyone will still be allowed to gather outdoors with up to 200 people for a private gathering, and an unlimited number of people for a public event, provided everyone keeps two metres apart and there is no indoor component, apart from washrooms
A mandatory work-from-home order will take effect Thursday, with exceptions in cases when an employer determines employees being physically present is necessary.
Places of worship must limit attendance to one-third fire code capacity. Masks and physical distancing between households is mandatory.

Masking will also be mandatory in schools for students in Grades 4 and up, and for staff and teachers in all grades. Schools that can implement an alternate COVID-19 safety plan can be exempted from mandatory masking. Elementary schools are to return to class cohorting.
Children’s indoor sports, performance and recreation activities can go ahead while keeping two-metre physical distancing and wearing masks when possible, and screening for COVID-19 symptoms. But children do not need to be masked or spaced apart during the activity itself. Spectators are limited to one-third fire code capacity, must wear masks, and keep distance between households.
