Overview

Businesses, communities and organizations across the province are preparing to reopen and resume operations as part of Alberta's relaunch strategy.

Guidance is available to support a healthy relaunch to keep Albertans safe and prevent the spread of COVID-19.

More tips and guidance will be added as we continue the staged relaunch.

Plan for relaunch

When reopening, businesses should:

  • become familiar with the general workplace guidance and relevant sector-specific guidance documents
  • identify and implement measures to comply with public health measures and workplace guidance to reduce the risk of COVID-19 among staff and customers

An optional relaunch considerations plan template is available to help business determine the steps they should take when reopening:
