Will COVID-19 factor into road safety during the holiday season? BY CORBIN STEWART AND GENE KOSOWAN
IT GOES WITHOUT saying that Yuletide celebrations
will be a bit more complicated this year. A coronavirus pandemic currently riding a formidable second wave has the Alberta government calling for a 15-person limit on social gatherings, from family settings to office parties. Assuming everyone in the province follows those protocols, the hope is that the number of infected cases will decrease. Contingent with that aspiration is that the levels of impaired-driving incidents —the leading criminal cause of injury and death in Canada—will also significantly decrease during a time of year when drunk driving is more than a going concern.
