1.Some patio restrictions will remain, and in regions under the province’s two highest alert levels, groups will be limited to occupants of a single residence or two adults with their minor children.The new regulations will also allow outdoor gatherings of up to eight people on private property, and large venues will be able to host up to 2,500 people, though they will have to be divided into sections of 250 people with separate entrances and washrooms.The new measures come as COVID-19 hospitalizations in Quebec have declined to their lowest level in more than six months..
