The premier said that according to projections from the Institut national de santé publique (INSPQ) and the Institut national d'excellence en santé et services sociaux (INESSS), in the coming weeks, COVID-19 hospitalizations in Montreal and Laval will continue to decline. 

"We'll be starting summer 2021 in a much better position than 2020 because of vaccination," Legault said before announcing a change to Montreal's evening curfew, which will take effect May 3.
