June
June 24 — Due to relative decreases in the rate of new cases, new health minister Christian Dubé (who assumed the post as part of a cabinet shuffle) announces plans to release new case numbers weekly beginning June 26, rather than daily. The move faced criticism (including from Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, who urged the Premier to continue being "transparent and open" in its data), leading the province to backtrack and continue releasing numbers daily. Quebec's Director of Public Health Horacio Arruda stated that the he had misjudged how the public would react to the change, and that he did not mind continuing with daily updates.[56]
July
July 17 — Quebec retroactively changes its methodology for determining recoveries, stating that its previous method, which did not consider non-hospitalized cases to be recoveries unless proof of their recovery was received, had "significantly underestimated" the total count, and was inconsistent with methodologies used in other provinces. This led to a one-time addition of 23,686 recoveries, and the reduction of active cases from 27,603 to 1,556.[57]
July 18 — Masks become mandatory in closed public spaces for everyone over the age of 12. Businesses can be fined up to $6,000 if they allow customers to violate this health order. Quebec becomes the first Canadian province to enact such an order.[58]
August
August 26 — Legault and other officials rule out the adoption of the national COVID Alert Exposure Notification app in the province for the moment, citing privacy concerns and existing contact tracing capabilities.

September
September 8 — The Mayor of Longueil, Sylvie Parent, tests positive for COVID-19.[60]
September 28 — Amid a major spike in cases in Greater Montreal, Quebec City, and Chaudière-Appalaches, Premier Legault announces that restrictions will be instated in multiple areas of the province (under a Level 4 "red" alert under the regional alert and intervention system) effective midnight on October 1, including restrictions on private gatherings and certain lines of high-risk businesses (particularly dine-in restaurants, bars, and casinos).[61]
September 30 — Quebec gives police the legal powers "to enter homes quickly to stop gatherings during COVID-19". Police officers "will be able to obtain warrants faster through a new, virtual system that was established in collaboration with the Crown... Normally the process for obtaining a warrant can take a day or two, but that won't work when police want to break up parties that very same evening," said Premier Legault. Public Security Minister Geneviève Guilbault said "We had to give the police the means to intervene." She said that the right to peaceful protest "without masks cannot be tolerated" and she is not ruling out using force to disperse protests if needed. "Eventually, we will cross that bridge when we get there," she said.[62]
October
October 1 — Quebec reverses its earlier objections and announces that it plans to join COVID Alert, with Dubé arguing that it would be quicker to adopt a platform that was already available than to commission one from local developers.[63]
October 5 — Quebec officially joins the COVID Alert app. Premier Legault emphasizes that the more people use the app, "the more successful we will be and the faster we can go back to a normal way of life."[64]
The government announces new measures for regions in red zones including closing gyms, prohibiting team sports, and requiring that high school students wear masks.[65]
October 6 — The province records 1,364 new cases, its largest increase to-date. Dubé emphasizes that residents must reduce social contacts and stay home in order to reduce the spread, stating that "I'm glad that we were ready because of the severity and speed of the second wave, but we cannot control how people react to the measures."[66]
November
November 19 — Premier Legault announces that restrictions will be loosened for Christmas. Specifically, private gatherings of up to 10 people would be permitted from December 24 to December 27.[67]
December
December 3 — The government rolls back their permissions on holiday gatherings in red zones due to a significant rise in cases and hospitalizations at the end of November, deviating from the relative stability of around 1,200 new cases per day that characterized the majority of the month. Consequently, holiday celebrations will be restricted to one's own family "bubble", defined as those who live at the same address.[68] An exception will be made for single-parent households and people who live alone, who are permitted to join one other family's bubble between December 17 and January 10, 2021.[69]

People will also be able to walk their dog within a one kilometre radius of their house. Additionally, although elementary schools will open as planned on January 11, high schools will remain closed until January 18.[74][75] Legault defends the decision by saying that "the situation in our hospitals is critical, especially in Montreal.

Saguenay–Lac-Saint-Jean, Mauricie et Centre-du-Québec, and parts of Bas-Saint-Laurent move into the yellow zone. Abitibi-Témiscamingue, Côte-Nord, and Nord-du-Québec move into the green zone.[149]

June 8 — Premier Legault announces that proms that are held outdoors will be allowed as of July 8 with a maximum of 250 people. Masks and social distancing will be optional. According to Dr. Horacio Arruda, the risk is very low, as "young people have a better immune reaction than older people. After 14 days or three weeks after the first dose, they will be almost entirely protected, probably more than 90%."[151] Additionally, Legault confirms that other reopenings will proceed as scheduled, including the transferring of orange zones to yellow zones on June 14.
Students no longer have to wear masks in classrooms, although they must continue wearing them in hallways, buses, and other common areas. The move comes after a heat wave hit the province.[152]
June 11 — Bar patios in orange zones re-open.[153]
June 14 — All regions in orange zones, where about 85% of Quebec's population lives, move into the yellow zone. Most notably, this means that bars can fully open, residents from up to two households can gather indoors, and masks can be taken off in workplaces under certain conditions.[154][155] In green and yellow zones, hours of operation for bars are extended. Bars can now serve alcohol until midnight and close at 2:00 a.m.[156]

There will be eight bursaries worth $10,000 each and 16 worth $20,000.
