Quebec Premier François Legault, alongside other health officials, outlined the province's new reopening plan amid a ramped-up COVID-19 vaccine rollout, which includes ending the curfew on May 28 and easing public health restrictions.

The measure first came into effect at the beginning of January as a way to cut down on indoor gatherings in a bid to limit the spread of the virus.

The curfew has drawn a lot of criticism, some arguing it was too harsh and others saying it unfairly targeted vulnerable members of society without scientific data to prove its effectiveness.

Legault also announced that as of May 28, outdoor restaurant terraces will be allowed to reopen across Quebec. That includes restaurants in the province’s red zones where indoor dining rooms have been closed since last October, forcing businesses to rely on takeout and delivery to stay afloat.

Plus, the premier said the province is ahead of its original goal of having 75 per cent of its population receive at least one dose of the COVID-19 vaccine. Legault said the province is reviewing a new target, moving up this goal to June 15 from June 24.
