Over 80% of Quebecers over 12 have received at least one vaccine dose. There were 84 new cases of COVID-19 in the province today.

As of June 25, crowds of 3,500 can gather outdoors at festival events. The same number of people are already allowed in large indoor venues (with multiple entrances) such as the Bell Centre.
