Two cell towers in two towns near Montreal were set on fire early Monday morning, following a similar event in the province on Friday. Speaking to reporters on Monday, Deputy Prime Minister of Canada Chrystia Freeland and Federal Health Minister Patty Hajdu said the acts, possibly linked to theories that 5G cell towers are responsible for COVID-19, represent a need for public health officials and elected politicians to do a better job disseminating accurate information about the virus.
Quebec, the province hardest hit by the novel coronavirus, has started to roll out the first phase of its recovery plan but the government has decided to postpone part of its strategy for Montreal.
Premier François Legault said on Monday that retail stores in Montreal and the surrounding areas will open on May 18, one week later than previously announced. He cited high hospitalization rates.
“The situation is under control in the rest of Quebec, outside of Greater Montreal,” he said.
Meanwhile, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is not sure he would send his children back to class if they lived in Quebec as the province plans to reopen elementary schools.
