Public health experts say Quebec should wait until more people have received a second dose of COVID-19 before increasing the number of fans allowed to attend Montreal Canadiens home games.

Roxane Borges Da Silva, a public health professor at the Universite de Montreal, said it’s in tighter spaces such as washrooms and escalators that people are most likely to spread the coronavirus. Scott Weichenthal, a professor at McGill University’s department of epidemiology, biostatistics, and occupational health who studies air quality, said the novel coronavirus is known to be airborne. “If you get a whole large number of people in an arena, indoors, yelling in close proximity to each other, the chances of having transmission is obviously elevated,” he said.

“The fact is that most hockey teams have no chance of profitability without fans in the stands,” he said in an interview Tuesday before the increased capacity was announced.
