Canada's Quebec launches police blitz in bars as COVID-19 cases climb

The Canadian province of Quebec on Friday said police would target more than 1,000 bars and restaurants to enforce rules curbing the spread of coronavirus, as authorities raised the alarm over a possible second wave. Quebec and Ontario, the two most populous of the 10 provinces, blame a recent spike in cases on people ignoring limits on parties and regulations on social distancing. Public health officials reiterated warnings that they might lose the ability to manage the pandemic.
