Premier Jason Kenney defends Alberta’s new COVID-19 restrictions on 630 CHED
COVID-19 restrictions were met with mixed reviews, Premier Jason Kenney defended the decision while appearing on 630 CHED.The new restrictions announced Tuesday ban all indoor and outdoor social gatherings, forbid in-person dining, personal services and indoor gym activity, but allow retailers to remain open with fewer people allowed in the business at a time.“I think those things should only be done as a last and limited resort and not a first resort,” Kenney said while appearing on 630 CHED Mornings with Chelsea Bird and Shaye Ganam on Wednesday.Many, like Opposition Leader Rachel Notley, say these restrictions have come too late to bend the curve back down.
