The provincewide curfew requiring residents to stay home from 10 p.m. to 5 a.m., which has been in effect since Dec. 31, will be lifted tonight.
Premier François Legault said last Thursday the province’s daily COVID-19 case count appears to have peaked, allowing the province to end the measure put in place to slow the surge in infections.
Thousands of students will also be returning to school in-person today, with the province requiring attendees to remain masked at all times while indoors.
But several schools announced over the weekend they would not open their doors today due to a major winter storm forecast to descend on parts of the province.
Some parents have expressed concerns that Legault’s government hasn’t done enough to ensure student safety in the classroom amid COVID-19 infection and hospitalization rates that remain near all-time highs.
