Quebec's schools could still reopen in early May, Premier François Legault said Friday, citing the latest numbers on the coronavirus pandemic as further evidence the first wave is stabilizing. "We Quebecers know one thing: In the heart of winter, we still know that spring will follow. Horacio Arruda, the province's director of public health, observed that children are at lower risk of being infected and "will be almost immunized against it." Restarting the economy means parents going back to work, Legault said, and finding ways to reopen the schools at some point is part of the equation. However, public health authorities are still asking people celebrating Easter and Passover this weekend to stay home, and to only celebrate in-person with those they live with.
