Last week, Premier François Legault said the situation in Quebec “continues to improve” and says the government is “exactly where we thought” in terms of the COVID-19 vaccine rollout and reopening plan.

As case numbers continue to decline, Legault said the government has “reached its objective” and specifically pointed out that people can move from having “little parties to big ones.”

As of Monday, stores across Quebec no longer have to function at a capacity relative to their size, and the two-metre distancing will be halved to one indoors.
