Alberta is expected to loosen restrictions this week as hospitalizations continue to trend downwards. Thursday has been slated for Stage 2 of reopening , allowing for in-person dining, gyms, and larger outdoor gatherings. The move is predicated on the already-reached threshold of 60 per cent of eligible Albertans having received their first dose as well as hospitalizations numbering under 500 and declining. Alberta reported 231 new cases of COVID-19 on Sunday and no deaths. The last time there were zero deaths reported in a day was on May 4.
