Alberta is preparing to shift away from the strategy that has defined the response to COVID-19 since the pandemic began early last year: test, trace and isolate.
The province will no longer require people who have COVID-19 symptoms or test positive for the novel coronavirus to isolate as of Aug. 16, though it will still be recommended. Alberta will also stop routine testing, instead limiting tests to people with severe illness for whom a positive result could affect medical care, and will only conduct contact tracing for “high-risk” settings such as long-term care or medical facilities.
