The province’s surge in COVID cases had many wondering if and when the government would implement new restrictions. Premier Jason Kenney declared a state of public health emergency and announced new measures to slow the spread of the virus this week. The Loop producer Clare Bonnyman joins Tara for a primer on what those measures are. Plus, reactions to the restrictions from Dr. Noel Gibney (who wrote the initial letter to government and health officials calling for a “circuit breaker” lockdown), Edmonton banquet hall owner Jay Singh, and restaurant owner Katy Ingraham shares her thoughts and explains why she decided to voluntarily close a few weeks ago. And CBC producer Kyle Muzyka takes a look at the settlement reached between Enoch Cree Nation and the federal government over the First Nation’s land that was used as a practice bombing range during World War II.
