Coronavirus: Health officials urge Quebecers to reduce contacts
Description
October 16, 2020
It has been about two weeks since health officials moved parts of Quebec in to the coronavirus red zone and imposed new restrictions. The latest models suggest those measures are paying off but the work is not done yet. The government wants Quebecers to maintain physical distancing and to limit contacts by 25 per cent. Global's Gloria Henriquez explains what that means.
