New safety measures coming for Quebec, passport plan may be implemented

“The recent increase in the number of cases is worrying.”

Quebec Premier François Legault has announced that new safety measures will be implemented in the province due to the recent increase in the number of new cases.

He stressed the importance of getting both doses of the vaccine, which could be an indication that the vaccine passport plan will be put into effect in some regions. This comes in light of rising daily cases in the province, and a significant outbreak of the Alpha (U.K.) variant in Trois-Rivieres.

“As elsewhere in the world, the recent increase in the number of cases is worrying. Let’s be careful. We will be announcing new measures in the coming days. Important to get your two doses of vaccines.”
