All Alberta businesses, whether they have been continuing to
operate or will be resuming operations pursuant to Alberta's
relaunch strategy, are expected to develop and implement new
policies and procedures to address the COVID-19 pandemic
response.
On April 30, 2020, the provincial government announced
Alberta's three stage relaunch strategy. With some businesses
having resumed operations on May 4, 2020, and a number of
additional businesses set to re-open on May 14, 2020, the
provincial government has released updated guidelines for
non-health care businesses to follow when re-opening or continuing
operations (the "Guidelines"). The
Guidelines outline criteria that should be addressed in new
COVID-19 policies, and provide additional resources for certain
industries.
