Quebec’s bars, restaurants, and large-surface retailers no longer need to check vaccine passports since Saturday. That’s when, two days earlier than originally planned, a suite of reopening measures removing the majority of pandemic restrictions went into effect.

Masking rules remain in place. The province is aiming to make masks optional during the second half of April, with an exception for public transit services which will continue to require them at least until May.
