Coronavirus: Some Canadian provinces loosen restrictions despite fears of COVID-19 variants

Health experts are raising concerns about some Canadian provinces beginning to loosen COVID-19 measures even as the B.1.1.7 variant that was first detected in the United Kingdom has been found in all 10 provinces in the country. Alberta, Manitoba and Ontario are all seeing a change to restrictions, but with the variant potentially more transmissible and more fatal there is concern COVID-19 could spread faster as regions open up and the variant potentially becomes the dominant virus in Canada.
