New targeted restrictions are on the way for some Alberta regions in hopes of bringing spiking COVID-19 cases under control.

Alberta Premier Jason Kenney, the province’s chief medical officer of health Dr. Deena Hinshaw and Health Minister Tyler Shandro announced the new restrictions during an update Thursday on the COVID-19 situation in the province.

Indoor group fitness classes and team sports will be prohibited for two weeks from Nov.13-27, Premier Jason Kenney said. This applies to the Calgary area, Edmonton area, Fort McMurray, Grande Prairie, Lethbridge and Red Deer.

Restaurants and pubs in the above areas, as well as areas on “enhanced status” must stop liquor sales by 10 p.m. and close by 11 p.m. This measure will also be in place from Nov. 13-27.
Kenney also said amateur singing, dancing and theatre groups will also have to take a break when enhanced pandemic measures begin Friday.
