This will be on condition of having a door providing direct access to the outside. Commercial shopping centres will remain closed because of the risks of gatherings that they include. The manufacturers and the construction sector who were still on pause because of the COVID-19 pandemic also resume activities Monday, May 11.
Quebec Premier Francois Legault made the announcement during his press scrum of April 28. He emphasized that the decision was resting on the dialogue between “four groups” – the Ministry of Economy, Public Health, the Employment Ministry and the CNESST.
The fact that the number of deaths must be stable at eight, nine or ten per day outside the CHSLDs weighed in the balance. “This level permits us to say that the situation is under control except in the CHSLDs, but we must proceed gradually,” Legault insisted.
Still, this does not consist of a return to normal. The enterprises must respect some government directives regarding hygiene and social distancing. For example, in the manufacturing business, the enterprises with more than 50 employees will have to limit their forces at work at the same time until May 25. .And in businesses, the consumers must deal with new ways of doing things to respect the rules in force.
The impact of the startup of the economy sides. notably on hospitals, will be observed and a backwards return is possible if the portrait deteriorates, Legault let it be known.
He reminded that everything was not permitted as it was before the pandemic.”Keep two metres’ distance and we don’t want any group gatherings. Act as if all the people you come across had the virus,” he warned.
