On July 1, life in Alberta will be much like it was before the COVID-19 pandemic. There will be no limits on indoor gatherings or province-wide mask mandates, but Dr. Deena Hinshaw is urging residents to remember the pandemic is not over.

In her last regularly scheduled COVID-19 update on Tuesday, the province’s chief medical officer of health asked residents to get vaccinated, continue with good hand hygiene and weigh the benefits vs. the rewards of activities.

“It means making safe choices when we enter Stage 3, not because there is an order directing it, but because it is the right thing to do.”

Alberta confirmed an additional 61 cases of COVID-19 over the previous 24 hours.

There were 170 Albertans in hospital, with 36 of them receiving care in the ICU.

While numbers like active cases and hospitalizations continue to decline, Hinshaw said the virus is not going away completely.

She urged Albertans to continue to stay home and arrange to get tested if they are showing signs of COVID-19.

Moving forward, the province will continue to offer testing for symptomatic Albertans and new case identification, variant testing and contact tracing will continue.

Health officials will continue to investigate outbreaks and will take “whatever steps are needed to protect the public’s health,” Hinshaw said.
