How will Alberta avoid repeating ‘Open for Summer’ COVID-19 case spike?

COVID-19 cases in Alberta grew last year after the province’s Open for Summer restrictions relaxation went into effect. When asked how to avoid a repeat of that situation in 2022, Premier Jason Kenney said the province is looking at data from places where Omicron hit earlier than in Alberta when making decision on moving forward. Kenney said the province is also making decisions based on past global respiratory illness pandemics that became less severe and turned into endemics, such as the Spanish Flu.
