Quebec’s premier is expected to provide an update on the province’s response to the novel coronavirus pandemic as restrictions on regional travel in some areas begin to ease.
François Legault will be joined by Health Minister Danielle McCann and Dr. Horacio Arruda, director of Quebec public health, at the briefing on Monday afternoon.
In Quebec, more police checkpoints have been lifted as the government scales back restrictions implemented to reduce the spread of COVID-19.
This includes ending traffic controls in Gatineau, Bas-Saint-Laurent, the Gaspésie-Îles-de-la-Madeleine and Charlevoix. However, public health authorities are still asking people to only travel from one region to another if it is necessary.
