All of Quebec will be classified as yellow and green zones as of Monday, as the province moves further along public health's deconfinement plan. This includes Montreal and Laval, which will be turning into yellow zones on June 14.

In addition to Montreal and Laval, Capitale-Nationale, Montérégie, Laurentides, Lanaudière, Estrie, Outaouais and all of the Bas-Saint-Laurent will join four other Quebec regions that are currently COVID-19 yellow zones.
