With hospitalizations and staff absences in the
Québec health-care system declining, the interim
Québec National Director of Public Health announced on May
4, 2022 that the wearing of masks in public places indoors would be
eliminated at midnight on May 14, 2022 except in health-care
settings and public transportation.
Access to the fourth dose of the COVID-19 vaccine has been
extended to anyone 18 years of age and over.
Recap
Since October 2020, the Government of Québec has
tightened and loosened restrictions on businesses as COVID-19 cases
have increased and diminished. The province's mandatory mask
mandate has been in place since July 2020. All businesses were
permitted to reopen with capacity limits and vaccine passports
eliminated in the middle of March 2022.
