Does not include outdoor sports, individual exercise, training or equipment use, or to school, junior, collegiate, universi...ty, Olympic or professional sports. It is important to note that starting today until the 27th, ALL restaurant/pubs must stop liquor sales by 10:00 pm and close by 11:00 pm. Applies to Class A, B and C licenses. Does not apply to 24-hour drive thrus, pick-up/delivery. Casinos, bingo/pool halls & indoor rec centres stop liquor sales at 10pm but don't need to close.

At 4pm today, the Municipal District of Greenview No.16 will move back to Watch Status on the Provincial Relaunch Status Map. https://www.alberta.ca/maps/covid-19-status-map.htm This includes all municipalities within the MD’s boundaries. Currently the high-level data for the area is as follows: 15 active cases, for a case rate of 99.6 per 100,000 people;... 6/15 have a known source of exposure (five are linked to outbreaks); 9/15 have an unknown source of exposure. Following the announcement on November 6 by Premier Kenney and Dr. Hinshaw, areas under Watch Status will now have a mandatory 15 person limit on social and family gatherings - indoors and outdoors - where people are mixing and mingling. This applies to all social gatherings, including but not limited to: banquets and award ceremonies; wedding or funeral receptions; luncheons or potlucks; parties: birthday, baby showers, retirement, dinners, backyard BBQs; other private social gatherings and functions. This mandatory measure does not apply to structured events, including but not limited to: seated-audience conferences, sports and shows; dining in restaurants; fitness centres; funeral services; wedding ceremonies; worship services. Additionally, all residents and visitors of communities on the watch list are recommended to adhere to the following voluntary measures: Limit your cohorts to no more than 3: your core household, your school, and one other sport or social cohort. Young children who attend child care could be part of 4 cohorts, given that child care settings have not been a high risk for spread. Wear a mask in all indoor work settings, except when alone in a workspace like an office or cubicle where you are safely distanced from others, or an appropriate barrier is in place. #foxcreek #communitymatters
