As Quebec sees a steady increase in COVID-19 cases, Premier François Legault says he doesn't plan to close down bars in the province for now. "The main problem is not in the bars, it's private gatherings," said Legault Friday, when 141 new cases were reported. He said he's keeping an eye on the situation, and that public health officials came to the conclusion after surveying the COVID-19 situation in the province. Since July 10, there have been more than 800 new cases in Quebec. They also said they received 224 complaints related to COVID-19 in restaurants and bars throughout Quebec.
