Quebec is banning non-essential travel into the western part of its province as of noon Wednesday, including visitors from Ontario.
Quebec's Ministry of Public Safety said earlier in the day it's extending the travel limits between regions, put in place for much of the rest of the province over the weekend, to prevent the spread of COVID-19.
Police in Quebec will enforce this with targeted checkpoints, the government said in a statement, though it did not specify in what the penalties could be.
Health-care workers, humanitarian support and people needed to keep the supply chain running are examples of who will be allowed to cross.
On a normal day, the five bridges between the two cities take almost 150,000 vehicles and 9,000 pedestrians a cyclists over the Ottawa River. (Sean Kilpatrick/The Canadian Press)
Such rules are not in place for people crossing from western Quebec into eastern Ontario, though last week, the mayors of Ottawa and Gatineau asked people not to cross the Ottawa River unless it was necessary.
Ottawa police are strongly suggesting people avoid non-essential travel, but aren't stopping people.
