Edmonton re-imposes masking mandate in public spaces

Starting Friday, September 3, 2021, Edmonton will reinstate masking requirements for all indoor public spaces, privately-owned businesses and municipal spaces, including at restaurants, retail shops, recreation centres, and while on public transit, ride shares, and taxis. 

The original masking mandate, originally deactivated on July 1, 2021, returns as COVID-19 cases continue to rise across Alberta. 

RCC will monitor other municipalities in anticipation of other Alberta regions following Edmonton in the coming days.
