Montreal Mayor Valérie Plante says her administration is drafting a bylaw that would make it mandatory to wear a face covering in enclosed public places. Côte Saint-Luc, a Montreal suburb that had hundreds of confirmed COVID-19 cases and dozens of deaths by the beginning of June, made masks mandatory in indoor public spaces starting July 1. A group of 27 epidemiologists and other health professionals called on Quebec last month to make wearing masks mandatory across the province. He is concerned that COVID-19 cases are again on the rise because people weren't wearing masks soon enough. He said the Plante administration rejected a motion from his party in May to make masks mandatory.
