– The Canadian province of Quebec has declared a public health emergency after reporting 750 new cases of coronavirus on Monday, Reuters reports. Quebec Premier Francois Legault says the situation is “at the limit” and that it’s time to take action. “It’s time to take action,” he says. “The situation is at the limit.” Under the new restrictions, only people living at the same address will be allowed to be at a bar or restaurant at the same time, and takeout service will be limited for 28 days in Montreal and two other regions. Libraries, movie theaters, and museums will close and protesters will have to wear masks during demonstrations, Legault says. “We know that this wave will be more complicated, more complex, it will be worse than the first wave we faced earlier this year,” says Ontario Premier Doug Ford. The province has seen a new daily high of 700 cases, with a bit more than a day’s worth of samples still pending at labs. In Alberta, where cases have also been rising, the provincial government postponed dozens of surgeries and imposed visiting restrictions at a Calgary hospital because of an outbreak. Four patients have died. Overall, cases in Canada rose by 1,454 to 153,125, while six more deaths took the total to 9,268. Canada garnered praise earlier this month after it reported zero coronavirus deaths for the first time since March. But health officials are now warning that some local authorities could be overwhelmed unless the wave of infections is curbed.
