Public health reported Thursday that 2,051 people were hospitalized in Quebec because of COVID-19, 68 less than the previous day.
Of this number, 60 patients were in intensive care, 4 less than in the previous assessment.
According to data from the Ministry of Health and Social Services (MSSS), 127 more COVID-19 patients were admitted to the hospital in the past 24 hours, while 195 patients were discharged.
Twenty-two other patients also died of COVID-19, bringing the death toll to 15,106 since the pandemic began.
Quebec also identified 903 new cases of the infection, bringing the number of confirmed cases in Quebec to 1,050,121 since February 2020.
However, the number of cases identified does not represent the situation, as access to screening centers is only possible for groups considered priority.
So far, more than 91% of Quebecers aged 5 and over have received a single dose of COVID-19 vaccine, 54% have received the third dose and 11% the fourth dose, according to data from the Ministry of Health and Quebec Social Services.
