Province-wide face covering requirement in effect as of Sept. 4, 2021.
On Sept. 3, 2021, the Government of Alberta announced additional public health measures to prevent the continued spread of COVID-19 in the province. As of 8 a.m. on Sept. 4, 2021, Albertans will be required to wear a face covering in all indoor public places, on public transit and in workplaces. Find more about all province-wide restrictions at alberta./covid19.
On June 22, 2021 Council voted to repeal the Face Covering Bylaw (No. 20/024), meaning this bylaw is no longer in effect, even if there are 50 or more cases of COVID-19 in the region.
However, face coverings continue to be mandatory under the province-wide requirement. This means face coverings are still required in:
- All indoor public places
- Public transit, including ride shares, taxis, motor coaches and shuttles
- Workplaces
