Quebec will impose a vaccine-passport system in September in areas where COVID-19 outbreaks occur, requiring people to prove they are vaccinated to enter places such as gyms and bars, Health Minister Christian Dube said Thursday.
The system will apply for specific periods of time in parts of Quebec where COVID-19 transmission is high, Dube told reporters, adding that proof of vaccination will be required only to access non-essential services.
Dube said the proposed health order will allow the government to avoid imposing fresh lockdowns if cases begin to rise in the colder months, and he said it would permit businesses to operate despite having COVID-19 outbreaks.
