Montreal and Laval are moving into the green alert level as of Monday, along with every other region of the province. It is the least restricted level under Quebec’s COVID-19 pandemic alert system.

Premier François Legault announced the changes Tuesday, as the number of cases continued to fall in Quebec along with hospitalizations and other pandemic indicators.

Quebec reported 88 new cases and no new deaths on Friday. Montreal had 30 cases. (Starting this week, Quebec is no longer releasing updated COVID-19 figures during weekends.) Eighty per cent of the eligible population have received a first dose, and 23 per cent a second.

On Friday, the government announced that people who are fully vaccinated no longer have to wear masks or keep a two-metre distance when they’re together indoors. In general, people are considered fully vaccinated two weeks after their second dose.

Here’s what’s allowed at the green level

Gatherings inside homes: A maximum of 10 people from different addresses, or the occupants of three households are allowed. Physical distancing and mask wearing are recommended for those who are not fully vaccinated.

Outdoor gatherings on private property or a balcony: As of June 28, a maximum of 20 people from different addresses, or the occupants of three households, are allowed. Physical distancing is highly recommended, or wearing a mask if distancing is not possible, for those who are not fully vaccinated.

Demonstrations: Allowed, but masks and distancing are mandatory.

Funerals: A maximum of 250 people are allowed, inside or outside funeral homes, not including the funeral-home workers. Masks must be worn and people attending must remain seated during ceremonies. During the viewing and expression of condolences, a rotation of up to 50 people inside the premises is allowed.

Places of worship and weddings: A maximum of 250 people are allowed in places of worship. As of Monday, for weddings, a maximum of 250 people are allowed. They must remain seated during the event, and a distance of two metres must be maintained between groups or individuals who are not from the same household.

For receptions, 25 people are allowed if it’s indoors and 50 people if it’s outdoors. A mask must be worn, but can be taken off when the person is seated, is silent or speaks in a low voice.

Restaurants: As of Monday, outdoor terraces can accommodate up to 20 people per table. Indoors, a maximum of 10 people or three households can share the same table.

Bars, breweries, taverns, casinos: These have the same restrictions on table seating as for restaurants, plus: only 50 per cent of maximum capacity allowed; distance of two metres between tables; customers must remain seated; dancing and singing is prohibited; alcohol sales stop at midnight; establishments have to close at 2 a.m.

Cinemas, auditoriums and festivals: A maximum of 250 people are allowed (or 3,500, if rooms can be subdivided into 250-person areas); eating and drinking is permitted; masks must be worn but can be removed once seated, as long as person is silent. A distance of 1.5 metres must be maintained between people from separate households.

Outdoor sites and indoor stadiums with assigned seating can present performances or sports events in front of 3,500 people, with no separate sections, with 1.5-metre distancing. Mask wearing is recommended while circulating.

Festivals and major outdoor events during which spectators are standing or sitting without assigned seats or circulating can be held, subject to compliance with the basic health measures.

Drive-ins: Allowed, up to 3,500 people, and viewers must stay in their cars during the performance.

Sports and recreation: Outdoor activities are permitted for groups of no more than 50 people from different households, not including staff. Organized games and matches and tournaments are allowed with a maximum of 50 spectators. Physical distancing guidelines should be respected as much as possible.

Indoor activities are permitted for groups of no more than 25 people. Organized games and leagues are allowed. Up to 25 spectators are allowed in the same area of the sports facility. Facilities for bowling, billiards and darts are open.

Gyms: Training activities carried out by individuals, in pairs or by members of two households are permitted. Lessons may be provided to individuals and to groups of no more than 25 participants, with two-metre spacing. Assistance at close proximity is not permitted.
