Mask use is strongly recommended in indoor public spaces, during social gatherings and in all setting where physical distancing cannot be maintained.
Students in grades 4 to 12 are required to wear a mask while taking public transit to and from school. This aligns with the Government of Alberta's school re-entry plan for the 2020-21 school year.
Information on how to properly put on, wear and remove of a mask is available at alberta.ca/masks.
To prevent the spread of the novel coronavirus, the Regional Municipality of Wood Buffalo (RMWB) continues to follow the direction of Alberta Health Services (AHS) and Alberta’s Chief Medical Officer of Health.
Up-to-date information on the number of active and recovered COVID-19 cases in Fort McMurray and the entire Wood Buffalo region is available on the Government of Alberta's Geospatial Map.
AHS remains the leading authority and trusted information source on the region's COVID-19 response. Visit Alberta.ca/covid19 for current and accurate information.
AHS is actively updating Frequently Asked Questions in alignment with Provincial announcements and changes. Residents can view COVID-19 public health information if they have questions. If residents have questions regarding public health they are encouraged to review COVID-19 information on AHS website.
