Montreal police have launched an online system allowing citizens to report suspicious activity, such as group gatherings, amid the coronavirus outbreak.
In mid-March, the Quebec government announced strict measures around public and private social gatherings, banning them entirely.
The measures grew stricter as Premier François Legault ordered the shutdown of all non-essential businesses, putting Quebec on “pause.” Strict rules extend to businesses that remain open, such as dépanneurs, gas stations, pharmacies and grocery stores.
Pharmacies and grocery stores don’t allow people from the same family or within a common living space to shop together and ask clients to wash their hands — both before they enter the store and as they exit.
