Wonder how many will actually get the vaccine. Were over 100k bookings already on Thursday, so not that many booked in the last day. If that peters out, and they only get around 60% in that group wanting the vaccine, guessing they will move onto the next group a bit sooner and make shots available to them.
As far as lifting restrictions:
"Current trends mean Alberta will likely move forward with the next phase of its economic relaunch, Shandro said Friday.
That could happen as early as Monday, when the cabinet committee on COVID-19 will meet to discuss the possible next step, three weeks after the first set of restrictions were eased.
If the group decides to lift some restrictions, those changes could come into effect the same day, chief medical officer of health Dr. Deena Hinshaw said earlier this week.
The eased restrictions would apply to retailers, hotels, conference centres, and banquet and community halls. Indoor fitness and children’s sport and performance could also see a further lifting of measures. Details on specifics are not available.
Alberta has more than met one of the previously outlined thresholds for entering the next phase of relaunch, which required fewer than 450 concurrent COVID-19 hospitalizations by March 1.
Shandro said Albertans should remember that, even though some restrictions could be eased, some will still apply.
He said current data supports moving forward but said the last week of data still must be reviewed.
“Some of the caveats that were put on it, was if we see … concern over the past week with increases,” Shandro said. “I don’t see that at this time though.”
