The Quebec mask mandate is projected to end in most enclosed public spaces on May 14, Interim National Public Health Director Dr. Luc Boileau said at a Thursday press conference. He cautioned, however, that officials would not confirm an end date for face-covering rules until next week when, he said, they would have a better sense of the direction of the COVID-19 situation as the sixth wave winds down.It will have been almost two years since the mask mandate took effect.
While Canada no longer requires travellers to provide a negative PCR test to enter the country, that doesn't mean the US is letting things slide as easily. On April 21, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced that the United States would be officially extending the temporary vaccine requirement for non-American travellers heading to the US by land or port entry.

Interim National Public Health Director Dr. Luc Boileau announced Thursday that he has recommended to the government that the Quebec COVID-19 mask mandate stays in place until mid-May.The mandate was originally supposed to end everywhere except public transit in mid-April. In light of the sixth wave spurred by the BA.2 variant, Boileau pushed that deadline to the end of April. Now he's pushing it two weeks further.
