According to the release, the city has also upped the number of meetings it has with Alberta Health Service officials. They've also developed a five-level "Escalation Plan" that will determine their next steps if cases continue to increase.

If they were to reach the second level, city-owned facilities, services, and programs could be restricted or closed again.
