Canadian province Alberta has announced it will lift a number of COVID-19 restrictions, including ending its vaccine passport program among residents, The Edmonton Journal reports.

Speaking at a news conference, Alberta's Premier Jason Kenney said the previous restrictions imposed by the provincial government have served their purpose since the omicron variant spread of the virus had peaked in recent weeks.

Starting Wednesday, capacity limits of under 500 for venues, libraries and places of worship will end, according to The Edmonton Journal.

"The threat of COVID-19 to public health no longer outweighs the hugely damaging impact of health restrictions on our society," Kenney said.

1. The amount of daily testing is down but the

positivity rates are 35%+, hospitalisation rates are way up as are ICU’s and the daily death rates are at their all time high again. As usual with this imbecilic government they make and implement the most moronic decisions.
