Alberta's government is weighing new restrictions for the province as it sees record-breaking COVID-19 numbers. Possible restrictions could include capacity limits on worship services and higher-risk activities like fitness classes, government officials told the CBC. The possible changes are notable given Alberta Premier Jason Kenney's rejection of tighter restrictions despite a recent surge in COVID-19 cases. This week Prime Minister Justin Trudeau implored Canada's premiers and mayors to "do the right thing" and bring in appropriate COVID-19 restrictions for their regions. Alberta has seen record setting COVID-19 statistics in the past week, including the highest number of hospitalizations to date during the pandemic.
