RE: Canada COVID regs

Hi Mansi, 
   
 Hope your week is going well. It was really great meeting you too!
   
 In Alberta we lifted our “Restriction Exemption Program” which requires individuals to be vaccinated to enter public spaces such as restaurants, gyms, and other entertainment venues where there is a potential for high transmission. This was lifted February 9 th . 
   
 Mask mandates for the province of Alberta are set to be lifted March 1 st . Currently it is mandated that masks are to be worn in ALL indoor public spaces and workplaces. There are no exceptions to this rule for vaccinated individuals. 
   
 PCR testing is no longer available to the general public and is reserved for those who are “high risk” or health care workers. 
   
 There has been no decisions made on isolation periods, it stands that anyone experiencing any COVID symptoms is legally required to isolate for 5 days or until symptoms resolve (whichever is longer). If the individual has a negative COVID test and is symptom-free they do not have to isolate the entire 5 days. It is advised any COVID positive individuals are continually masking for 5 days after isolation. 
   
 Alberta has lifted its single site mandate which prohibited workers from working in more than one continuing care setting. Now, this mandate is only in effect if there is an outbreak, then workers are not allowed to work in other locations. 
   
 I believe those are the restrictions that pertain to us at this time. If you have any additional questions, don’t hesitate to reach out. 
   
 Hope this helps!
   
 Kind regards, 
   
 Jamie

 Hi Jamie,
   

 [I've CC'd Timothy Thomas for visibility]

   

 Thank you for connecting with me on Monday! It was great getting to know you, Chandani and learning about some upcoming changes to the Canada regulations. Can you please provide me with the most recent regs on the mask mandate and vaccine mandate as soon as possible? 

   

 Legal and I believe there are several provinces that are keeping their mask mandates and not lifting as we initially discussed. This will help us determine if we are able to incorporate Canada offices to our upcoming policy changes.

   

 Thank you.
