COVID-19: new measures in place in métro stations

As of today, the STM is announcing the implementation of new temporary measures that apply to all métro stations. The suspension of activities that are not directly related to the STM’s mission aims to promote compliance with physical distancing measures and reduce the risk of spreading COVID-19.

Soliciting for fundraising purposes is no longer permitted.

Distribution of printed material
The distribution of free printed material in person (e.g., books, newspapers, pamphlets, leaflets, brochures or any other printed material) is no longer permitted.
