The most effective tools we have to keep our community safe are vaccinations and the public health measures of physical distancing, wearing a face mask and avoiding gatherings outside the household. We want to thank all Edmontonians for their patience and commitment to protecting themselves and others.

Restrictions continue to evolve constantly. For the most up-to-date information on the mandatory provincial restrictions, please visit alberta.ca/COVID19.
The Government of Alberta has introduced a robust immunization program to help combat COVID-19. COVID-19 vaccines help prevent you from getting infected and protect you from getting severely sick if you do get it.
The City supports the restrictions announced by the province by activating our enforcement teams.
Through close coordination with Edmonton Police Service (EPS) and Alberta Health Services (AHS), teams of Peace Officers work seven days a week to support enforcement of the City’s Face Covering bylaw and provincial Public Health Orders. While enforcement has occurred throughout the pandemic, we are concentrating our efforts on businesses, public spaces, gatherings and worship centres.
The City of Edmonton offers outdoor opportunities for active living that you can take advantage of during the pandemic.

Take advantage of Edmonton’s extensive network of parks and trail systems. Just remember to keep 2 metres physical distance from those around you and no groups larger than 5 people and only a maximum of 2 households can come together. The households must remain physically distanced.
