Crowds flocked to the beach on Sylvan Lake Saturday, creating a discussion online of the apparent lack of physical distancing being practiced.
“It was like dodgeball. There was a lot of people, physical distancing was gone. I maybe saw four or five people other than ourselves wearing a mask,” said Greg Dickson , a resident of Sylvan Lake.
“I was just shocked. There were so many people walking by that they were stepping on your toes. I’ve seen the beach busy before, never like this. It was just a crush," Dickson added. Alberta Health Services says public health inspectors and police agencies can both respond primarily on a public complaint basis to reports of physical distancing not being maintained.
