All of Quebec is now at the lowest alert level under the province's COVID-19 response plan as public health restrictions continue to ease.

Nine of Quebec's 17 regions, including the province's largest cities and the areas surrounding them, move from yellow to green on the pandemic alert level system as of Monday.

The province's other regions were already at the green level.

Several green zone restrictions were relaxed further on Monday, with up to 20 people now allowed to share a table on restaurant and bar patios.Outdoor gatherings on private property can also now include up to 20 people.

Across the country in British Columbia, Provincial Health Officer Dr. Bonnie Henry releasednew COVID-19 modelling illustrating the impact of vaccinations. She also hinted the province is on track to move to Step 3 of its reopening plan on July 1.

"Things are looking really good," she said.

The modelling showed that several parts of the province were free of new cases of COVID-19 in the past week and that community transmission is down, Henry said.

The modelling also indicated deaths from COVID-19 have stayed low in B.C. during the pandemic's third wave despite the increase in cases, which Henry said reflects the "ongoing and durable protection from immunization."

About 427,000 doses of COVID-19 vaccines were delivered in B.C. in the past week and 78.1 per cent of adults have received their first dose, Henry said.
