Legault noted that while cases of COVID-19 have plateaued at around between 800 to 1,000 new cases per day, the province is also seeing an average of roughly 10 new deaths per day. The premier announced that restrictions might be eased after 2 weeks once the case numbers are reevaluated but he added that he has to see those numbers drop below 500 cases a day in order for that to happen. Coalition of Gym owners A coalition of Quebec gyms, yoga studios and other activity centers which threatened to reopen, even though the province is extending its 28-day partial lockdown is now backing off its threat to defy red zone restrictions. Deputy Premier Geneviève Guilbault says the province will still go ahead with a new decree to allow fines for owners who reopen their facilities as well as their customers. They’re now inviting their members to protest the province’s guide- lines by gathering — while respecting physic- al-distancing rules — in front of their respective activity centers. They’ve been closed since Oct. Zéro Limite Fitness: At Zéro Limite Fitness in Blainville, owner Patricia Chiasson lamented the situation and the decision to close the gyms 8, along restaurants and movie theatres as part of a series of measures imposed by the Quebec government to contain the spread of the virus.
