MONTREAL — After months of opposition, the Quebec government is close to adopting the federal government’s exposure-notification application.
The federal government launched its COVID Alert app in July. Quebec was notable in its disdain for it, with all three major opposition parties coming out against its adoption. A government report, published in August, didn’t recommend the adoption of the app. As recently as that month, the government said it wouldn’t deploy any mobile app, but would “be ready” should there be a second wave.
