These regions are Gaspésie-Îles-de-la-Madeleine, Bas-Saint-Laurent, Abitibi-Témiscamingue, Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean, Côte-Nord and northern Quebec. There will be no roadblocks around these areas, and police will not give tickets to people entering those areas from elsewhere, according to Legault. Without more restrictions, nothing will prevent people from the red zones from spreading the virus into orange zones, said Quebec Solidaire spokesperson Gabriel Nadeau-Dubois on Wednesday. Parti Québécois Leader Paul St-Pierre Plamondon wants the Sûreté du Québec to issue tickets to people who travel to an orange zone without a valid reason.
As spring break approaches, Plamondon is also calling on the government to prohibit people in red zones from renting cabins in orange zones.
