Legault and the province’s director of public health, Horacio Arruda, say their number one priority is to control the spread of COVID-19 in order to reduce the number of deaths

But in recent days, they both have begun talking about a need to balance economic growth with an acceptable rate of infection.

He said his medical team will evaluate each sector of the economy, region by region, and make recommendations to the premier. Legault said he will focus on opening businesses “where people can keep a distance of two metres.”Legault had shut down all businesses deemed “non-essential” in March and after initially considering a reopening in mid-April, extended the order until May 4.

Dorval said the business community is concerned authorities want to restart the economy sector by sector, as opposed to taking a broader approach. Quebec reported 41 new deaths linked to COVID-19 Thursday, bringing the total to 216 in the province. Provincial health authorities said there are 10,912 confirmed cases of the virus, with 679 hospitalizations and 196 patients in intensive care.

Classic q-bec .... doing whatever the hell they want

Squeeze me With the MOST cases in Canada. Oh, Quebec. 🤦‍♀️

Imagine the fed and msm response if any other province said the same, especially Alberta or Ontario.

Worst idea ever

A balanced, rational approach, bravo.

Totally irresponsible!! Thinking of opening schools in two weeks when all cultural and sporting events have been cancelled this summer.. if danger is possible in July.. we’ll certainly will be in two weeks. francoislegault .. was doing a stellar job so far. Disappointed today

What economy? Cashing welfare cheques from the west isn't an economy.
