Jul 19, 2023

All masking directives related to the COVID-19 pandemic that were still in effect in the province are now lifted, Quebec’s Health Ministry announced on Wednesday.

The ministry cited the improved epidemiological situation in recent months as a reason for the decision, which mainly concerns health-care workers and their patients. In a news release, it said most of the population achieved immunity through infection and that treatments for COVID-19 are now available.

For the most part, wearing a mask in health-care settings became optional as of April. As of Wednesday, masking in specific medical circumstances, like when in direct contact with someone infected with COVID-19, is no longer being enforced.
