By this Friday, outside, a maximum of eight people will be authorized to meet in the backyard.

This means that restaurant dining rooms can accommodate clients, as well as gymnasiums. 3 students^E, 4^E And 5^E Secondary school can return to class full time.

In Montreal and Laval, citizens will have to wait a bit, as these cities will be in the Red Zone until June 7; The orange color spreads throughout Quebec.

All of these relaxations are coming into effect gradually as the number of people hospitalized for COVID-19 in Quebec has recently reached a six-month low.
