Canada's deputy public health officer Dr. Howard Njoo says singing and dancing in close quarters is not the way to party this summer.
Njoo is urging younger people to stop cramming bars and dance floors to stop the spread of COVID-19.
Njoo says indoor activities carry a higher risk to spread COVID-19 and that can have serious health consequences, even for young people.
However, Quebec Premier Francois Legault says the recent resurgence of COVID-19 cases in the province is due to private gatherings rather than bar visits.
Njoo says younger Canadians have a duty to act responsibly to keep COVID-19 from spreading to older people.
