A few weeks ago, some other provinces, Quebec today announced the adoption of the COVID alert for the federal exposure notification application.
Prime Minister Francois Legault suggested that Quebecers unload it.
“It’s anonymous, it’s safe and it’s a way to decrease transmission, yet having fewer infected people,” he said.
He said the app is one more tool to help prevent the spread of the virus, and noted that Quebec will continue to seek contacts.
Legault said the app will only work if many Quebecers install it on their smartphones.
The Premier also referred to the province’s previous announcement of stricter regulations for team sports in red zones.
He said it’s bad luck that the new regulations were needed, but “it’s a matter of life and death. “
Quebec explains that the COVID alert:

Quebec’s plan to impose masks on all classes of the best schools, sports and face-to-face education for students in grades 10 and 11 in the red zones is applauded through an arrangement of approximately 250 personal schools.
“It is with a wonderful sadness that we will have to suspend, at least for a few weeks, maximum sports and extracurricular activities,” the Federation of Private Educational Institutions said in a statement. “These activities are a wonderful source of laughter and motivation for the students . . . yet we are very aware of the urgency of the situation. “
However, it requires flexibility in educating students in grades 10 and 11.
“It would give schools the flexibility to run distance courses in a context where only a portion of academics will attend school at the same time,” the agreement said.
“Each school has another truth in terms of school transportation, schedule organization and available staff, and in this context, than imposing a singles style in all schools, it would be better to establish transparent rules and let schools apply them according to their truth.
Continuing my previous coverage, here’s our full story, through Philip Authier and T’Cha Dunlevy, about Quebec’s plans to tighten restrictions on the best schools.
From Bloomberg Agency:
President Donald Trump said on Twitter that he would leave Walter Reed Hospital Monday night after being treated by COVID-19, and asked Americans to worry about the new coronavirus.
“Don’t let him dominate your life,” Trump said Monday in a message on the social media site. “We have developed a lot of drugs and wisdom under the Trump administration. I feel bigger than I did 20 years ago!”
Trump has been in the hospital since Friday night, after declaring early that morning that he had tested positive for the virus and gained additional oxygen at the White House before traveling to Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, his doctor Sean Conley said Sunday.
White House chief of staff Mark Meadows said the previous Monday that a resolution would be made on Trump from the hospital after consultations with medical staff.
Trump’s condition on Monday is unclear. White House doctor Sean Conley will brief reporters around 3 p. m. Washington.
The White House had not provided any updates on Trump’s fitness for more than 24 hours, and before declaring that he would leave the hospital, Trump himself had not said anything about his twitter status in a time after five o’clock on Sunday afternoon.
From the Canadian press:
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said the COVID-19 test was done last month after receiving a “tickle” in his throat and the result was negative.
Trudeau said he asked his doctor if he was tested after he started feeling unwell and followed the recommendation to get tested.
He said he repainted a few days after the result when he felt recovered.
He did it this afternoon.
From Thursday in the red zones, the mask will be mandatory in the main school categories and all team sports are prohibited. The measures shall be in force until at least 28 October.
(Here’s the press describing the measures announced this afternoon. )
The news was announced this afternoon through the Minister of Education, Jean-Fran’ois Roberge.
Schools are “major” vectors of transmission, but the virus has spread to the school system, Roberge said at a press conference this afternoon.
It said that the measures would be implemented in the red zones, which came with Greater Montreal, Quebec City and much of the Chaudiére-Appalachian region.
From Thursday, October 8 to at least October 28, all high school students will have to wear masks in and out of elegance while in school, Roberge said.
Masks are already mandatory in the usual school spaces, but until now Quebec has resisted the tension to make them mandatory in school’s study rooms and courtyards.
There is no replacement in elementary schools: students will have to wear a mask in classrooms.
Also starting Thursday, grades 10 and 11 will go to school over and over the day. On days when they are not in school, they will be informed remotely, Roberge said.
In addition, extracurricular activities and school are canceled in the red areas.
A journalist asked Roberge why Quebec gives all academics the opportunity to be informed remotely.
In response, the Education Minister stated that the government had to “the most productive position for schoolchildren is school. “
Roberge announced that Quebec is launching a recruitment crusade to hire another 2,000 people to leave schools blank and supervise students.
In the coming days, and over the next few weeks, there will be a greater police presence in the best schools to raise awareness and for academics to respect physical distance.
Isabelle Charest, the young minister guilty of sports, announced that from Thursday to October 28, collective and recreational sports should prevent in red areas, adding games and competitions.
Also, the gyms will have to close in the red areas, Charest said.
“You can’t do concerted sports or recreational activities,” he said in a press release.
“Group categories and supervised play practice will be prohibited. Individual or two-user activities, individual education in loose practices, and activities with members of the family circle will remain allowed. Anyone who is involved in a two-user game with a user who is No component of their family circle will have to respect the distance of two meters.
In addition, “indoor sports facilities would possibly remain open to allow for loose practice (but) their ability should be reduced to allow respect for social distance. Access to the changing rooms will be prohibited. Training rooms and gyms will be closed. »
Danielle McCann, Senior Education Minister, said red zone schools and universities are being told “as much as possible” to teach remotely.
It is known which establishments will affect this order, as the maximum of postsecondary categories already offer distance education.
“No to the cancellation of collective sports in red areas” is the name of a petition that has reaped nearly 40,000 signatures.
