Dr. Hinshaw announces that all businesses must create their plan on reducing the spread of COVID-19 among staff and customers
Yesterday during Dr. Hinshaw’s daily address, she indicated that Albertans have asked for assurances that businesses they visit are following public health precautions and for this reason, all business that are open or re-opening
must identify what they are doing at their site to reduce the risk of transmission among staff and customers. This plan must be completed and posted online or physically at your place of business
within 7 days of being open to the public.
The Government of Alberta has developed a template that you must fill out with your plan to reduce transmission – please

Restaurants:
Also Dr. Hinshaw reconfirmed the physical distancing requirements for restaurants. In addition to the 50% capacity protocol, tables must be 6 feet apart and guests at different tables can not interact with each other. She did not speak to physical distancing requirements within patrons at the same table. As we have had mixed messages this week on this protocol, please confirm with your AHS representative for clarification.
