Quebec dining rooms in restaurants set to reopen Monday, reports say

Quebec Premier Francois Legault and other health officials are expected to announce the reopening of dining rooms, return of sporting activities and limited private gatherings Tuesday afternoon.

Legault, along with Health Minister Christian Dube and acting director of public health Dr. Luc Boileau, will hold a news conference at 2 p.m. 

Dining rooms have been closed since the end of December in an effort to curb surging COVID-19 cases. It is expected that they will be allowed to open with limited capacity.

The announcement on Tuesday is a week to the day since schools reopened in the province as part of the government's deconfinement plan.
