The Quebec government's decision to extend the partial lockdown in red zones for another four weeks has many wondering when, exactly, they can expect restrictions to be lifted. Premier François Legault said Tuesday that there could be some allowances, however slight, for the holiday season. The opposition parties in Quebec City have been broadly supportive of the government's COVID measures but that support clearly has its limits. On Tuesday, they criticized Legault harshly for failing to be more forthcoming about the length of the restrictions, and the reasoning behind his government's decisions. Quebec recorded 963 new cases and 19 more deaths on Tuesday, four of which occurred in the past 24 hours.
