Albertans who live alone can visit one other household this holiday season: Kenney

During a press conference on Tuesday afternoon, Alberta Premier Jason Kenney made a big announcement for people who live alone in the province.

“I am pleased to announce today that we’ve made some changes to the public health restrictions that will allow single Albertans to enjoy the holidays with loved ones in a safe way,” he said.

“Between December 23 and December 28, single Albertans may attend one event at another household, during that same time households may host up to two single people for an event.”
