COVID-19: Quebec announces staggered reopening plan through to mid-March
Global News
Quebec Premier Francois Legault says his government isn't ready to lift mask mandates or end the vaccine passport system, both of which will remain until at least March 14.
Quebec Premier François Legault unveiled the province’s COVID-19 reopening plan on Tuesday, amid dropping pandemic-related hospitalizations.
Legault made the announcement in Quebec City, calling the decision a calculated risk.
As of Saturday, there will no longer be legal limits on private gatherings in homes.
Legault, however, said public health was recommending a cap of 10 people, or people from three different households.
“We’re going to have to learn to live with the virus,” Legault said.
“How many people am I with, how many have three doses, how many are above 60 years old?” he added about the questions people should be asking themselves.
It will be up to people to decide how many people they want in their own homes.
Legault, however, again stated that the best way to learn to live with the virus was by getting their three shots of a vaccine.
