Moe has said the province would be shifting away from COVID-19 measures in the near future, though he did not give a specific timeline.

Opposition NDP leader Ryan Meili called out the province Monday night for putting an end to daily COVID-19 updates.

At Scott Moe’s briefing tomorrow, for the 1st time since the start of COVID, journalists will not be armed with daily numbers to fact check his claims and choices.

Provincial measures include masking in public indoor places, a requirement to self-isolate following a positive test, and proof of vaccination or a negative test to enter a number of establishments.

Existing measures are set to expire at the end of the month.
