QUEBEC TO REOPEN CINEMAS AND SOME INDOOR SPORTS

Quebec will permit cinemas to reopen across the province and allow the resumption of limited indoor sports on Feb. 26 — ahead of the province’s March break — Premier François Legault said Tuesday. The Outaouais region, which includes Gatineau and borders Ontario, will move to the lower, “orange” pandemic-alert level on Monday, Legault added. Six less-populated regions are already at the orange alert level, under which gyms and in-person restaurant dining can resume. Montreal and Quebec City, however, will remain at the highest pandemic-alert level, Legault said, adding residents in those regions will have to obey the 8 p.m. to 5 a.m. curfew. Legault announced he will allow limited indoor sports across the province, in arenas and in pools, for family bubbles and groups of up to two.
