Many residents will have heard about the new mandatory health measures announced last week by the Government of Alberta.
According to the Town of Taber, these measures are aimed to help stop the strain on the province’s health care system. “We need everyone’s help to make sure our health care system is not overloaded, and so all people needing medical attention can get the services they need, when they need them. Please do your part,” it was stated on the town’s Facebook page last week.
The M.D. of Taber region is considered a high-case region, according to the media release post. Mandatory restrictions on businesses, indoor gatherings (prohibited) and outdoor gatherings (no more than five people), places of worship, and workplaces have all been enacted. Violators can be subject to a $2,000 fine or prosecution. See the mandatory restrictions at http://www.alberta.ca/stopthespike.
“Our indoor recreation facilities will be closed until further notice, as of May 9. If you have questions about any recreation facilities, please contact our Aquafun Centre at 403-223-5544 during business hours,” it was added.
