The province is following through on its plan for post-secondary students to have as normal a fall semester as possible, but those who are not fully vaccinated may not be allowed to participate in sports and other extracurricular activities. Danielle McCann, Quebec's higher education minister, has unveiled a series of guidelines for a return to in-person classes. During an interview with Radio-Canada on Friday, McCann said three-quarters of post-secondary students in Quebec are either fully vaccinated or have at least booked an appointment for their second shot. "The more students we have who are vaccinated with two doses, the smaller the risk of an outbreak will be." As a result, students in those schools will have to wear a mask at all times, even while seated during class or at a library.
