Alberta Health Order helps clarify workplace exposure rules

May 11, 2021

The new Alberta Health Order has been posted, providing additional clarity on under what situations a worksite could be closed for ten days due to a workplace outbreak.

Section 11 is the relevant part and defines a cluster as three or more documented cases of COVID-19 where an investigation determines that transmission has likely occurred at a workplace location between staff.

The section also states that a business must close all (or part of a workplace) location for ten days when a medical officer of health issues a closure order. This is important flexibly in particular for larger distribution centres and retailers where an outbreak has occurred and those employees have been isolated.

Be heard. Save money. Stay informed.
