Alberta and British Columbia are extending COVID-19 restrictions as the provinces try to bend the infection rate curve and prevent a second wave outbreak.
Alberta, which has one of the highest COVID-19 cases among all provinces, announced an extension of mandatory restrictions for another two weeks, until Jan. 21. Measures include a ban on all indoor and outdoor social gatherings, which had been in place since December 2020. Students in grades K-12 will return to school on Jan. 11 as planned.
