Continuing with my previous article on Prime Minister Francois Legault’s press conference, here is our full report, through Philip Authier, on what Prime Minister and Minister of Health Christian Dubé had to say.
“All Quebecers have a duty and it is to save them a moment,” Prime Minister Francois Legault said at a press conference this afternoon.
“We’re on a wave of moments, but the trend is good. “
The recent accumulation of instances necessarily means that the province has reached this stage, he said.
Health Minister Christian Dubé said Quebec now faces 10 to 15 outbreaks a day, up from 3 or 4 a day a few weeks ago.
Legault said Quebec may impose restrictions and fines on others for violating fitness legislation in public places, but if others continue to throw large parties in private homes, the number of infections will continue to increase.
“You can’t put a police officer in every single house in Quebec,” he said.
“We have to depend on people’s goodwill. “
Legault said allowing school sports and extracurricular activities despite the increase in the number of cases is “a calculated risk. “
A journalist asked Legault about Quebecers still passing to Florida and the fact that some bars in Quebec City still allow erotic dancing.
In response, Legault stated that others are allowed to travel to Florida, the province discourages him and said other people have to isolate themselves when they move home.
With regard to strip clubs, Legault noted that erotic dancing “is already forbidden, so what can I tell you more than that?”
The Prime Minister also announced that an assembly of provincial prime ministers to be held later this month will be held virtually in person.
Dubé stated that Quebec had withdrawn its list of schools with instances of COVID-19 because the data was incomplete and unreliable.
Lately the province is reviewing how to get the information, he said.
Dubé added that the province is fulfilling its promise to temporarily inform parents when infections are detected in their children’s schools.
Police raided two strips in Quebec City this week to end the erotic dance, La Presse reports.
Radio-Canada claims that any of the bars had already been warned that the activity was prohibited.
Visits to bars, personal parties, committed to masking recalcitrants, the Quebec police will do whatever it takes to involve the pandemic. Robert Pigeon interview, dir. @SPVQ_police pic. twitter. com/bB4xErCc0V
