Measures adopted by Orders in Council and Ministerial Orders in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic

The Gouvernement du Québec has signed Orders in Council and Ministerial Orders related to COVID-19.

A health emergency can be declared when a threat to the health of the population demands the immediate application of certain measures. It empowers the Québec government and the minister of Health and Social Services to implement an array of measures to protect the health of the population. The minister of Health and Social Services could, for example, promptly purchase equipment or conclude the necessary contracts to protect the health of the population.

Since the start of the declaration of a health emergency, the adoption has taken place:
