Health officials in Quebec have announced that the province will drop vaccine passport requirement for bars, restaurants, and all other public spaces starting on March 14.
According to Health Minister Christian Dube, the situation in Quebec hospitals has improved so much so that measures can be gradually eased.
Quebecers will no longer need a vaccine passport to enter liquor stores and large box retailers as well, starting on February 16.
The passport will also not be needed for funerals or places of worship as of February 21.
Masks will still be required in indoor public spaces.
Dube did say, however, that if the situation worsens, that the passport could be reimplemented.
"We're doing it because it's the right time to do it. Because it's safe for public health," he said. "It's there when we need it," he said.
The reason for dropping the vaccine passport was due to its inefficiency in the face of the Omicron variant.
"We cannot move forward with a standardized vaccine passport with three doses, because a lot of Quebecers, at least two million, maybe 2.5 or three million, have been infected recently, and we suggest they wait until eight to 12 weeks before receiving the third doses," said Quebec public health director Luc Bouileau.
