Premier François Legault says police will begin handing out fines to anyone who isn't wearing a mask when required according to public guidelines.
The fines will apply across the province, but Legault said authorities will be asked to pay special attention to regions that are classified as "yellow" under the government's new colour-coded COVID-19 alert system.
"There's a trend we do not like here," he said. "We cannot accept that a few irresponsible individuals put at risk the entire population of Quebec."
The new enforcement measures go into effect Saturday.
