Coronavirus Information for Camrose

The Government of Alberta has announced an easing of almost all Public Health Measures as of March 1, 2022. The City of Camrose does not have any additional public health measures in place.

This easing of measures means there will be no more mandatory masking (EXCEPT on public transit) and no attendance or gathering restrictions in any City facilities. Individuals or businesses may choose to enforce their own guidelines and we ask all members of our community to respect individual choices when it comes to masking.

From the Alberta Government COVID-19 information page:

“Alberta will enter Step 2 starting on March 1. At that time, the following measures will be updated.

• Any remaining school requirements removed (for example: Kindergarten to Grade 6 cohorting).
• Youth screening activities for entertainment and sport activities removed.
• Capacity on all large venues and entertainment venues lifted.
• Indoor and outdoor social gathering limits lifted.
• Mandatory work-from-home requirements lifted.
• Provincial mask mandate will be lifted except in high-risk settings, including on public transit, at AHS-operated and contracted facilities, and all continuing care settings.”
