Masks no longer required in Quebec elementary and high school classrooms as of March 7

Quebec Premier François Legault has announced that masks will no longer be required in Quebec elementary and high school classrooms as of March 7. This is a new item in the province’s deconfinement calendar, which will see the end of almost all restrictions and public health measures by March 14.

“The evolution of the epidemiological situation in Quebec allows us to make this change. Many efforts have been made by our young people in recent months. Thank you for your resilience!”
