Quebec’s COVID-19 vaccine passport will be implemented across the province on September 1, and the app is available to be downloaded as of Wednesday morning.
Health Minister Christian Dubé outlined how the app will work at a news conference on Tuesday. As of next week, Quebecers will need to use the app’s quick response (QR) code as proof of vaccination, part of Quebec’s plan to avoid another lockdown amid the fourth wave of COVID-19 and an increase in cases and hospitalizations.
“The vaccine passport is the balance we have found to keep our economy open while protecting the population,” said Dubé. “With the vaccine and the passport, we want to avoid closing businesses and banning activities.”
The passport will be in effect for a wide array of non-essential activities, including restaurants, bars, gyms, theatres, museums, festivals, and events.
