To all members of the Faculty, including all learners and staff,

As we are all acutely aware, the COVID-19 outbreak and the provincial and federal governments’ responses are continually evolving. On Friday, March 13, the Quebec government held a press conference announcing the closure of schools, universities and daycares, while the federal government updated the country on its measures. The implications of the Quebec announcement are being assessed in detail; more information will be issued University-wide via your mcgill.ca address over the weekend.
