Quebec gyms and spas will be allowed to reopen at half capacity as of Feb. 14, along with sports and artistic activities for groups of up to 25 people, Premier François Legault announced Tuesday.
Gyms and other fitness centres have been closed in the province since late December, when they were shuttered in order to limit the spread of the Omicron variant of COVID-19.
With hospitalizations continuing to trend down and more health-care workers back on the job, Legault said it is the right time to lift more measures and to “establish a balance between physical health and mental health.”
Several gyms across Quebec protested their ongoing closures, with some illegally opening their doors last Sunday.
“We see that people are getting impatient, Quebecers are fed up,” Legault said at a news conference alongside Health Minister Christian Dubé and the province’s interim public health director, Dr. Luc Boileau.
