The local sanitary rules require that everyone wear a mask or face covering when indoors in public spaces, in taxis, limos and public transportation and whenever a one metre (3 feet) distance cannot be maintained. Once seated, it is possible to remove the face covering or mask.

As of September 1st, 2021, Québec requires its residents to have a Vaccination Passport to gain admittance to certain locations and certain non-essential activities where the risk of transmission is high. These include events and festivals, performance halls and sports arenas, casinos, cinemas, fitness centres, team sports, bars, restaurants, and certain extracurricular activities. Visitors will not be required to have a Vaccination Passport. Instead, they will be asked to show a photo ID and proof issued by their country or Canadian province that they have had two doses of one of the following recognized vaccines: • Pfizer • Moderna • AstraZeneca • Covishield • Jansen (only one dose required) Activities that require a vaccine passport or proof of vaccination: Places and activities requiring the COVID-19 Vaccination Passport | Gouvernement du Québec (quebec.ca) >> Places and activities requiring the COVID-19 Vaccination Passport | Gouvernement du Québec (quebec.ca)

If you test positive while in Montréal, you will need to:

• Isolate yourself from others once you receive the results.

• You will need to remain isolated for 14 days or more in a location where you have access to the necessities of life without leaving isolation and where you can avoid contact with others.

• You will be contacted by the local public health authority and will need to follow their instructions.

• Always keep copies of your proof of vaccination with you.

Be prepared to show your proof of vaccination when you enter a restaurant (including the hotel restaurant), a gym (including the hotel gym), the hotel pool and when you enter the conference/event site. You will not need to show a proof of vaccination when entering a hotel or a museum.
