The Quebec government will impose stricter measures to slow the spread of COVID-19, including an overnight curfew and the closure of all non-essential businesses.
But the new measures won’t apply to Nunavik, the province said.
On Wednesday, Quebec Premier François Legault announced a curfew between 8 p.m. and 5 a.m., with fines between $1,000 and 6,000 for those who don’t comply. The curfew will be enforced from Jan. 9 to Feb. 8 and applies to Quebeckers from all other regions, apart from essential workers.
The new measures won’t apply to the James Bay Eeyou Itschee region nor to Nunavik, where there are currently just two active but unrelated cases of COVID-19.
