Premier Jason Kenney, with surging COVID-19 case rates threatening to overwhelm Alberta's hospitals, has reintroduced stricter rules on outdoor gatherings, businesses and schools not seen since the first wave of the pandemic.

Kenney said the next three weeks are critical and catastrophe awaits if spread of the novel coronavirus remains unchecked.

For three weeks starting Wednesday, the capacity of retail shops drops to no more than 10 per cent of customer capacity. Outdoor gatherings will be limited to five people instead of 10. And beginning Sunday, hair salons, tattoo parlours and nail salons must close. Restaurants, currently only able to serve customers on patios, will be limited to delivery and takeout.

New Democrat Heather McPherson, the MP for Edmonton Strathcona, says in a letter to the speaker of the House of Commons that she will propose an emergency debate Wednesday on the pandemic's third wave that continues to swamp the province. “It is the constitutional responsibility and the moral duty of the government of Alberta to protect the health and lives of Albertans,” the 48 specialists wrote in an open letter to Kenney.Doctors were briefed last week on triage protocol. It would require them to use resources for patients with “the greatest likelihood of overall survival” but also take into account the amount of resources needed for that to happen.
