More businesses are to be allowed to reopen with two-metre distance between customers put in place will include libraries, some surgeries, message therapy, personal services like manicures and pedicures, and movie theaters.

K-12 schools will also be able to reopen for diploma exams and summer schools.

The initial target date for Stage 2 was set for June 19, however, Kenney said due to low COVID-19 case numbers and continued cooperation by Albertans, the province is moving forward with the next phase of its relaunch plan beginning Friday.

The total number of cases stands at 7,202 and 149 deaths as of Monday.
