It is mandatory for members of the public to wear a face covering or mask at all times while in an indoor, enclosed, or substantially enclosed public place or in a public vehicle. Exemptions under the bylaw include children under the age of 10 and those who are not able to wear a face covering due to a mental or physical concern or limitation.
The County's Temporary Mandatory Face Coverings Bylaw came into effect on November 12, 2020 at 8:00 a.m. Learn more about the Temporary Face Covering Bylaw and view a full list of exemptions.

Current restrictions and public health measures
The current restrictions and public health measures are closely monitored by the Chief Medical Officer of Health. For details on the restrictions, be sure to visit Alberta's webpage on Enhanced Public Health Measures.
What else you should do
Albertans must continue following existing public health measures to keep everyone safe:
- Stay 2 metres apart when you can, wear a mask when you can't
- Practice good hygiene: wash your hands often and cover coughs and sneezes
- Monitor your symptoms every day
- If sick, stay home, get tested, and follow mandatory isolation requirements while waiting for results:
- if positive, isolate from others for 10 days or until symptoms are gone, whichever is longer
- if negative, stay home until you're better
- Avoid non-essential travel
- Get the flu shot to keep influenza cases low so health workers can focus on the COVID-19 pandemic
- Download and use the ABTraceTogether contact tracing app when out in public
Assessment and testing
COVID-19 symptoms are similar to influenza and other respiratory illnesses and can range from mild to severe. Even people with mild symptoms can spread COVID-19 to others.
If you have any symptom, stay home and take the online assessment to arrange testing.
Albertans are legally required to:
- isolate for 10 days if they have any core symptoms not related to a pre-existing illness or health condition
- quarantine for 14 days if they are a close contact of someone with COVID-19 or if they travelled outside Canada
