Prime Minister Francois Legault says there is a single explanation as to why the number of new instances in Quebec has increased in the last two weeks.
“We can’t point to a (problematic) type of activity,” he said.
Bars are the main explanation for the jump, he added, but instead blamed a number of epidemics, similar to sports, workplaces and marriage, for example.
And he said Montreal is not the only position where instances are increasing.
Too many other people across the province are let their guard down, Legault said, meeting in giant teams and without following other public fitness recommendations.
The Prime Minister expressed fear over trend lines.
“The next two weeks will be crucial,” Legault said, with students returning to school, more staff coming back and more people spending more time inside.
“I don’t need to have to close businesses and prevent your staff from making a living.Above all, I don’t need to close schools. We owe it to our children.
Health Minister Christian Dubé said 10 of the new instances reported in today’s Quebec update were similar to a karaoke night and said he hopes the same time will load even more new instances into the count in the coming days.
“It is not fair” and other people who participate on such occasions may simply be punished, Dubé said, adding that he feared that the lack of countryside among the Quebecers would cause a wave of moments.
He noted that some CHSLD outbreaks in the spring with staff having lunch together.”We have to be careful.”

Ontario’s four largest teacher unions say they will file a complaint with the province’s labor board, claiming that the government’s plan to reopen schools violates their own protection laws, the Canadian Press reports.
The unions, which make up 190,000 teachers and school staff, say the Ontario government has been unable to cope with its considerations after an assembly last week.
They had asked the Ministry of Labour to factor a number of ordinances to establish protection criteria in schools.
These criteria come with short elegance sizes, maximum cohorts of 50 students and bus transport criteria that take precautions opposite to COVID-19.
Trade unions also say that the ministry deserves to adhere to the ventilation needs already considered for the courts of the province.
“Soon, teachers will be our new frontline staff and will want all the help we can give them.I’ve been training for 57 years, full-time, part-time and now, however, I’ve never noticed a challenge like the one teachers face lately.I am deeply sorry for those who return to a classroom or virtual workstation.

From the Canadian press:
A federal spending control agency says an income program for small and medium-sized businesses will charge just under $1 billion this fiscal year.
This morning’s report by the Parliamentary Budget Officer says the ad assistance program will now charge $931 million after it lasts until August.
Updated Spending forecasts from the Parliamentary Budget Office are still on track to provide less assistance than nearly $3 billion in the Liberal budget.
The program provides repayment loans that cover part of the rent of eligible small businesses, and also requires landlords to give up another quarter of what would otherwise be owed to them.
The Canadian Federation of International Business warns that too many small businesses have not yet had access to assistance because they have owners apply for it and set the bar too high for lost income to be eligible.
The agreement asks the government to allow tenants to apply directly.
In the first part of 2020, refugee resettlement fell by 69% since 2019 to just over 10,000, according to UN data.The show resumed in June, but at a much slower pace.
The pandemic struck as attitudes towards immigrants hardened, loosening some other thread in foreign efforts increasingly worn down by global solidarity.
Nationalism, concern about infection, economic considerations, and the resistance of the aging electorate to replace it undermine a long-standing postwar consensus that those at risk of persecution, abuse, or violence deserve protection.
