The Government of Alberta is out with a new ad campaign complete with a mascot called Mr. Covid.

The intent is to spread the message that family gatherings are a no-go this year because of the potential to spread COVID-19. 

The ads are meant to be funny, but also informative.

Some think they're distasteful given the seriousness of the virus, and others are finding Mr. Covid kind of creepy. 

Check out the videos & let us know what you think on our Facebook page or send us a note.
