A Path Forward is a roadmap to help Albertans understand how restrictions will be eased in steps over the coming months.
- Public health measures are being eased (moving forward in the steps) in steps based on hospitalization benchmarks and declining cases.
- When cases rise sharply, additional restrictions are implemented (moving backward), as occurred on April 6.
- Moving between steps will happen at least 3 weeks apart to assess the impact on cases.
Steps are based on hospitalization benchmarks and declining cases:
- Step 1: < 600 hospitalizations and declining cases
- Step 2: < 450 hospitalizations and declining cases
- Step 3: < 300 hospitalizations and declining cases
- Step 4: < 150 hospitalizations and declining cases
