A relaxation of some public health regulations brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic went into effect on Monday, with high school students allowed to remove their masks in class and the return in part of karaoke and dancing in the province’s bars. .

High school students may go without a mask in class, but they must be covered in common areas and during transportation to and from school.

Quebecers can also return to the workplace, although it will be up to each employer to determine what that return will look like. Health officials recommend a hybrid formula that includes telecommuting as part of the work week.

Bar and restaurant patrons are no longer required to remain seated at their tables and dancing is allowed.

Karaoke is allowed if the singer wears a face mask or stands two meters from his audience or performs behind a physical barrier.

Bar and restaurant owners are no longer required to keep track of their patrons, although patrons are required to show a valid vaccination passport to access a venue. Masks are still mandatory for patrons in bars and restaurants, unless they are eating or drinking.
