MONTREAL -- Much to the relief of bar and nightclub owners, dancing and karaoke will be allowed in private venues as of Nov. 15 as long as people wear masks, Quebec announced Tuesday.
Quebec Health Minister Christian Dubé made the announcement during a news conference in which other health measures are being announced. The vaccine passport will remain mandatory.
Karaoke singers will, however, have to follow one of the new rules: maintain a distance of at least two metres from the crowd, remain behind a physical barrier, or wear a mask. Wearing a face cover remains mandatory in all other situations in restaurants and bars, except when eating or drinking. High school students will no longer be required to wear a face mask when they are seated in the classroom as part of the newly relaxed health measures coming into effect on Nov. 15."The epidemiological situation is relatively under control," Dubé said.
Dubé added that Treasure Board President Sonia LeBel will have an update in the coming days with regards to public servants.Dubé also made some announcements regarding outdoor activities this coming winter.
