Alberta's chief medical officer of health Dr. Deena Hinshaw urged residents to move at a pace that they were comfortable with as the province moves into a full reopening next week.

Speaking for the first time since Premier Jason Kenney announced the province had reached it’s benchmark to remove almost all COVID-19 restrictions on July 1, Hinshaw said “we need to learn to live with this virus without these rules.”

“This means entering a time with less mandatory barriers on what we do, while also being thoughtful about how we manage risks” she added.

According to Hinshaw, precautions like avoiding crowded indoor areas or wearing a mask remain “reasonable choices” for those who may be at risk or haven’t been fully vaccinated yet.

“If you’re not ready to do something or want to take extra precautions, that’s perfectly ok.”

While most COVID-19 restrictions will be lifted, the mask mandate outlined on Tuesday as well as isolation requirements for confirmed cases, quarantine measures for those who aren’t fully immunized and protective measures in continuing care centres remain in place even after Alberta enters Stage 3.

It’s also important to continue practices like good hand hygiene and staying home if sick, Hinshaw said.
