It was also stated that the recommendation would be re-evaluated in early October.

Public health justifies this recommendation because many of the prevalence of previous waves occurred in other places and offices.

“The next few weeks will be marked by the beginning of the school year, indicating an increase in contacts and their unpredictable impact on the epidemiological situation,” one adds.

Public health therefore depends on caution and seeks to minimize the underlying exposure to the virus outbreak.

The Delta variant currently represents more than 50% of cases in Quebec.
