Horacio Arruda, director of public health, told reporters that forcing people to stay home can have negative consequences on society, including for children and the elderly

“We saved a lot of lives, but when we confine people, especially young people, there are consequences,” he told reporters in Montreal. “They need to go to school, they need to socialize. Elderly people can have significant cognitive and physical losses.”Arruda said health officials now know more about COVID-19, especially the role of asymptomatic transmission.

“We can’t go back to the way it was before COVID,” he said, warning he’s seen some people grow lax about certain health measures such as handwashing. “The virus is in Quebec, it’s here, it’s here to stay.” Montreal’s health director, Mylene Drouin, said the city was hard-hit by the pandemic, especially in long-term care homes and seniors’ residences, which accounted for 88 per cent of deaths. Health-care workers also suffered, she said, accounting for 22 per cent of infections.
