This timing was not to hide information from Albertans but to ensure school authorities knew about the order before it came into effect today.

In another tweet, she said that she understands the concerns. Going forward, she plans to release the orders on Mondays through Thursdays. 

She'll also be posting them on social media as they're released. 

The top doctor said her approach to maintaining safety in Alberta schools hasn't changed since the province's first announcement on mask-wearing in schools.
