Chief medical officer issues reminder to remain safe amid economic relaunch, June 23

The arrival of COVID-19 marked the beginning of an increasing­ly difficult time for all Albertans.

Being apart from relatives and friends put a strain on our ability to relax and enjoy life. It also marked an acute awareness that the manner in which we interact with people has a profound effect on our well-being. This awareness brought with it the responsibi­lity to protect each other. Some people realized this responsibi­lity.

But there is a large group that has decided to leave the responsibi­lity to others.

This group cites their fearlessne­ss towards the virus.

This selfish bravado is contrary to what medical experts stress. Wear a mask in crowds and be aware of social distancing to have respect for yourself and others. Robert Mooney, Calgary
