Here's a snippet from a CBC news article I just read:

"The main reason for the curfew is to prevent gatherings, even the smallest ones," wrote François Legault. "It's the addition of all the small breaches of the rules that feeds the virus."

With this new rule in place, police have the power to stop and question anybody outdoors between 8 p.m. and 5 a.m.

"The police will also be very visible this weekend," the province's Public Security Minister Geneviève Guilbault said in a tweet Friday. "Let's stay at home, save lives."

Those without a valid reason to be out between those hours could face fines of between $1,000 to $6,000.
