Another wave of COVID-19 measures lifted across Quebec as of today
Earlier this month, Quebec Premier François Legault announced more details of the province’s gradual reopening plan.
February has already seen restaurant dining rooms reopen, as well as fitness centres, places of worship, theatres, cinemas, large venues, recreational centres (arcades, bowling alleys, etc.), and capacity increases at large outdoor events, among others.
Legault has said most of Quebec’s COVID-19 public health measures will be lifted across the province by March 14.
He says the government will revaluate its strategy concerning the vaccine passport and mask mandates by mid-March.
