    Alberta lifts more COVID restrictions

    Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 08 Mar, 2021 11:42 PM
    • Alberta lifts more COVID restrictions

    Alberta is lifting more COVID-19 public-health restrictions, including allowing more people to shop in retail stores and malls.

    Health Minister Tyler Shandro says the retail limit is increasing to 25 per cent capacity from 15 per cent.

    He says banquet halls, community halls and conference centres can open for meetings, while weddings of up to 10 people and funeral services with a maximum of 20 people are allowed.

    Lessons and practices for youth and post-secondary sports can go ahead with a cap of 10 participants.

    And there can be rehearsals and performances — without an audience and confined to 10 people — for youth and adult dance, singing and theatre activities.
