Quebec health officials announced on Monday that all schools, bars, gyms and movie theatres would be shut down in an effort to stop the spread of COVID-19.
The new measures come after back-to-back record days of new cases, with Monday seeing over 4,500.
By 5 pm on Monday, bars, gyms movie theatres, and concert venues must be shut down. Restaurants will be required to close before 10 pm.
All non-essential workers must work from home, including civil servants.
The province currently has 397 in hospital, which is over half of its total capacity.
On Thursday, the province announced that it would reduce the total limit for private gatherings to just 10 people. That limit remains in place.
Health officials did, however, urge the province not to gather with the unvaccinated.
