This translation has been automatically generated and has not been verified for accuracy.Alberta daycares preparing to open as early as Thursday will be limited to 10 people per room and must implement increased cleaning and daily health screening to prevent the spread of COVID-19.

The new guidelines set a maximum of 10 people, including children and staff, per room. Centres with multiple rooms can have as many as 30 in their program, as long as they are separated into groups of 10 in different rooms and don’t congregate. Parents will be encouraged to provide their own snacks and meals, but daycare centres may provide food for children who show up with nothing to eat.Anita Turna, chair of the Alberta Association of Child Care Operators, said the guidelines appear to be very similar to rules already in place for centres caring for the children of essential workers. She said some operators will likely take their time opening, waiting until after the long weekend or June 1.

Turna said it’s not clear how much of an issue the limited capacity will be, because some families may decide to wait longer before putting their children back into daycare. The reduced capacity will also cut into revenues for operators, though she said programs such as the federal wage subsidy and recent child-care grants announced by the provincial government will help.

“There’s no obligation for centres to reopen and there’s no obligation for parents to send their children back, but we’re encouraging people to proceed safely and cautiously as we proceed from stay home to stay safe," Schulz said in an interview before the new guidelines were released.

What You Need To Know About Coronavirus Contact Tracing AppsAlberta’s government launched ABTraceTogether last week, to mixed results. It’s a bad idea for the BC govt. to develop their own software. Apple should be consulted as to witch is the best software. The software ownership should be independent of the govt. to avoid the misuse of the app. Also the Privacy Commissioner should approve. cdnpoli Privacy concerns are key, but if robustly addressed, Canadians are very supportive of digital contact tracing:
