On 6 January 2021, due to a surge of [[COVID-19]] cases and deaths in the [[province of Quebec]], a curfew was ordered by the premier of Quebec [[François Legault]]. The curfew was adjusted for different areas of the province depending on the number of cases, amongst other criteria. The more populous areas, such as the urban areas of Montréal and Quebec City qualified as "red zones" and were placed under a curfew from 8 pm to 5 am while the less urban areas were either "orange zones" with a curfew from 9:30&nbsp;pm to 5&nbsp;am. This curfew was expected to be in effect from 9 January up to and including 8 February 2021. 
"Yellow zones" did not have curfew. However, the curfew did not end in February. It ended on May 28, 2021.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.quebec.ca/en/health/health-issues/a-z/2019-coronavirus/confinement-in-quebec/|title=Confinement in Québec|website=www.quebec.ca|access-date=7 January 2021|archive-date=7 February 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210207124515/https://www.quebec.ca/en/health/health-issues/a-z/2019-coronavirus/confinement-in-quebec/|url-status=dead}}</ref> On December 30, 2021, Quebec reinstated the nightly curfew this time starting at 10:00&nbsp;pm to 5:00 am.<ref>{{cite news |title=Quebec reintroduces 10 p.m. curfew as infection rates skyrocket |url=https://montreal.ctvnews.ca/quebec-reintroduces-10-p-m-curfew-as-infection-rates-skyrocket-1.5723269 |access-date=30 December 2021 |agency=CTV News}}</ref> Following the reinstatement of the curfew, studies came out doubting its effectiveness in lowering the transmission of COVID-19.<ref>{{Cite web|date=5 January 2022 |title=Le couvre-feu n'a aucun effet sur le nombre de cas, estime l'IEDM|url=https://www.journaldequebec.com/2022/01/05/le-couvre-feu-na-aucun-effet-sur-le-nombre-de-cas-estime-liedm|access-date=2022-01-14|website=Le Journal de Montréal|agency=Agence QMI}}</ref>
