Albertans who live alone will be allowed to visit 1 other household once over the holidays, premier says

Alberta reported 11 more deaths on Tuesday, bringing total to 871, but active cases are trending downward

People who live alone in Alberta will be allowed to attend one event at another household over the coming holiday long weekend, says Premier Jason Kenney.

A change to public health restrictions will allow these Albertans to visit another home on one occasion between Dec. 23 and Dec. 28, the premier announced Tuesday at a news conference.

“This is a small change that was just adopted based on advice from the minister of health, with input from the chief medical officer, by the COVID cabinet committee,” Kenney said. “It will make a world of difference for single Albertans who otherwise would not be able to visit their families over Christmas.
