Officials said no tickets were issued, but a report was filed with the prosecution service, who will decide whether any charges will be laid.

Police said they met with one of the leaders of the synagogue to inform him about Quebec's COVID-19 regulations, which forbid religious gatherings of more than 25 people.

This comes as Quebec reported 1,106 new COVID-19 cases on Saturday and 13 more coronavirus virus-related deaths.
