Kenney to announce plan to lift health restrictions

Albertans will learn the fate of COVID-19 health restrictions this evening. 

In a Tweet, Premier Jason Kenney said he would announce Alberta’s plan to lift public health restrictions on Tuesday (Feb. 8). 

Today at 5 pm I will announce Alberta’s path back to normal - a careful and prudent plan to lift damaging restrictions if pressure on our hospitals continues to decline.

Please tune in.
