No quarantine for COVID-19 after Aug.16: Alberta set to end restrictions

 
CALGARY --
Alberta is lifting much of its remaining COVID-19 restrictions in the coming weeks, even as case counts climb and the virus continues to infect unvaccinated Albertans.
Chief Medical Officer of Health Dr. Deena Hinshaw, in her first COVID-19 update since June 29, announced Wednesday that starting Aug. 16, people who test positive for COVID-19 will not be mandated to quarantine anymore, but the province will recommend it.
Additionally, Albertans with COVID-19 symptoms will not be asked to get tested, but to stay at home until they feel better.
Two weeks later, COVID-19 tests will only be available to people who need to go to the hospital or see a physician.
