Getting rid of provincial COVID-19 restrictions and protocols is a mistake right now, public health experts say. Saskatchewan was the first Canadian province to lift all public health restrictions last month, while Alberta plans to phase them out by mid-August. "This is a bad mistake at this time," said Dr. Ali Mokdad, professor and chief strategy officer of population health at the University of Washington. Saskatchewan lifted all public health rules on July 11. (CBC)Alberta, meanwhile, lifted most of its public health restrictions on July 1.
