Quebec Premier Franois Legault has announced a significant easing of public health restrictions as COVID-19 cases drop and vaccinations climb.

Second dose flexibility

People looking to book a second dose of COVID-19 vaccine will soon be able to do so at a different location through theClic Sant website.

Until now, the website has only offered appointments for a second dose at the same location you received your first one.

StartingTuesday, it will offer appointments at many locations in the same region as the initial appointment.

The Health Ministry said several walk-in clinics are already offering Moderna to those who received Pfizer for a first dose.

Despite fewer deliveries of Pfizer in the coming weeks, the ministry saidappointments already made will be honoured.

No changes to Bell Centre capacity

The Montreal Canadiens and representatives from the Quebec government have refuted rumours that the Bell Centre capacity will be increased from 3,500 for games later this week against the Tampa Bay Lightning.

In a statement on Twitter, the Canadiens said discussions with authorities are ongoing.
