Montreal is as bad as it's ever been regarding Covid-19.
In Quebec as a whole there are up to 1000 new reported infections and a hundred or more deaths each day, mostly centered on the greater Montreal area. 113/118 deaths reported today were in Montreal. The death rate has been about the same for the last month ....
Longterm care facilities are in very poor shape, requiring assistance from the army, in some cases, just to perform basic functions.
Non-essential places are still closed.
Some universities are already saying classes in the fall will be online only.
I don't forsee any public events before the fall at the earliest. And then only with onerous social-distancing measures in place.
And as for the local "industry," I don't know how it will adapt; but without a widely available vaccine I think it unlikely we will see anything like the pre-covid scene here for some time to come ....
