All in relation to stopping the spread of COVID-19 in the city.

  • The potential for the spread of COVID-19 in Montreal has left a myriad of spaces and events to be closed, cancelled, or postponed.
  • So, we've made a list of all the things in our city that are being affected.
  • This list will continuously be updated as more establishments release their coronavirus prevention measure updates.

As the reality of the presence of COVID-19 in Montreal truly begins to set in, many establishments have begun to take protective measures to help stop the potential spread of the virus. Such measures are being taken as the Government of Quebec encourages everyone to stay home unless absolutely necessary. 'It's not time to panic, but time to act,' Dr. Horacio Arruda, Quebec's Director of Public Health stated in a press conference on March 15, 2020.

Nearly all sports leagues or events have been temporarily suspended or completely cancelled. Restaurants have been asked to only let 50% of their usual amount of customers in, while most other public spaces have been closed until further notice.

If you were hoping to be attending an event in the near future, it's very likely that it has been either cancelled or postponed. While this may seem upsetting at first, such interruptions are in the best interest of everyone.

As the Premier of Quebec reminds us, we should be practicing social distance throughout the next few weeks.
