COVID-19 orange zones — which includes Montreal and Laval — will no longer be required to wear masks in class as of Tuesday.The decision was announced late Monday by both public health authorities and Education Minister Jean-François Roberge due to Quebec’s current heatwave that is seeing temperatures exceed 30 C with humidex values reaching 40.
Montrealers prepare for the first heat wave of the season “I know it was difficult today in our classes due to the extreme heat.
In addition to allowing fans and air conditioners, public health has authorized students to remove their masks in class as of tomorrow until the end of the year,” Roberge said on Twitter.Je sais que ça a été difficile aujourd’hui dans nos classes.
