According to the notice, the CNESST decided to loosen its COVID-19 measures in Montreal workplaces days before the city is designated a COVID-19 yellow zone in Quebec.

However, dividers will remain in place on Montreal buses, acting as a physical barrier between drivers and passengers.

Montreal bus passengers will still be required to wear masks and follow other public health measures, as outlined by Quebec public health.
