The latest:
Proof of vaccination against COVID-19 is now required to access big-box and other large-scale retail stores across Quebec.
Premier François Legault previously announced that Quebecers will have to show their vaccination passport starting today if they wish to enter stores with floor surfaces of 1,500 square metres or more.
The measure comes as Legault continues to focus measures on unvaccinated residents in an effort to curb COVID-19-related hospitalizations, which soared in recent weeks but have declined for the past four days in a row.
Proof-of-vaccination requirements do not apply to stores that primarily sell pharmacy or grocery products.
