Premier François Legault says Quebec is tightening health measures in red zones like the Montreal region while allowing people as young as 55 to get vaccinated against COVID-19.
Starting Thursday, gyms will again close and houses of worship will be limited to 25 people, down from 250.
Starting next week, high school students in Secondary 3, 4 and 5 will attend class on alternating schedules once again. Extracurricular activities will also be stopped as some have proven to be sources of transmission, Legault said.
In red zones, under the province’s colour-coded set of restrictions, pools and skating rinks will be allowed to stay open and individual sports will continue to be permitted, Legault said.
The curfew, currently set at 9:30 p.m. in the Montreal area, will not change, but the government may decide to move it back to 8 p.m. if the situation doesn’t improve, Legault said.
