Legault will be accompanied by Health Minister Christian Dubé, Public Health Director Dr. Horacio Arruda and Education Minister Jean-François Roberge. Under the first option, the province would allow indoor gatherings for a few days around Christmas. As part of this option, the school break would be extended by a week in an effort to contain infections contracted during the holidays. Legault is likely to invoke this risk in an attempt to motivate Quebecers to be more diligent about following the public health rules currently in place, according to Radio-Canada. "If we allow ourselves large gatherings over the holidays, the health system will be overwhelmed in January," Tremblay said.
