Saint-Raymond-de-Portneuf | Like Ontario, Quebec should end the mandatory five-day isolation rule for people who test positive for COVID-19, says Éric Duhaime.

“At some point, it has to stop. We told nurses to go back to work with COVID and there we tell people that they have to isolate themselves. We have to take another step. We are no longer at the restriction stage (…) We should perhaps start by removing the old rules, “said the Conservative leader, Thursday evening, during an impromptu press.
Ontario canceled this mandatory isolation rule a month ago, but Quebec refuses for the moment to follow suit.
“The health crisis is over”
“It’s always easy for politicians to come out with new rules and it seems much more difficult to remove them,” he added, giving the example of Ottawa, which has just relaxed the rules at the borders. .
In a speech delivered in the evening in front of his supporters gathered in Saint-Raymond-de-Portneuf, Mr. Duhaime affirmed that “the health crisis is over then the mandate of François Legault, it must end on the evening of October 3. . You don’t have to live in fear anymore. We must no longer live in the past”.
