Montreal got the exciting news that it's going to become an orange zone on June 7. But there's reason to be a little jealous of three other Quebec regions: they are set to turn into green zones on the same day. 

In a press conference on Tuesday, Premier François Legault announced that Abitibi-Témiscamingue, Côte-Nord and Nord-du-Québec would be going green, which is Quebec's least restrictive alert level.

So, what will Quebecers in Abitibi-Témiscamingue, Côte-Nord and Nord-du-Québec be allowed to do as of June 7?

Most notably, they will be able to gather indoors! A maximum of 10 people from different households or the occupants of three households will be able to get together inside.

Bars and restaurants will also be allowed to accommodate 10 people per table for indoor dining with some restrictions.
