Face Coverings Mandatory on Public Transit
As of March 1, face coverings are still mandatory on public transit for residents who are 13 or older. In accordance with Step 2 of the phase-out of provincial health measures, mask mandates are still in place for continuing care centres and AHS-operated facilities. Continuous masking must be used for up to 5 days following mandatory isolation due to COVID infection for vaccinated individuals. Learn more at alberta.ca/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On June 22, 2021 Council voted to repeal the Face Covering Bylaw (No. 20/024), meaning this bylaw is no longer in effect, even if there are 50 or more cases of COVID-19 in the region.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, at this time face coverings continue to be mandatory under the province-wide requirement. This means face coverings are still required:
- On public transit
- In AHS-operated and contracted facilities
- In continuing care centres
- Continuous masking must be used for up to 5 days following mandatory isolation due to COVID infection for vaccinated individuals.
