The data continues to show an encouraging picture of the current COVID-19 wave in Quebec. According to raw data published on Sunday by the Ministry of Health, the number of patients in hospitals due to coronavirus increased from 1994 to 1926. There were 66 people in intensive care, 2 more than the day before.
Only two new deaths added to the death toll. We now report 15,139 deaths associated with COVID-19 since it appeared in Quebec.
The Ministry of Health also reports 822 new cases since the previous assessment. Authorities have recorded 1,052,015 cases of the infection since the pandemic began. However, the number of cases listed does not represent the situation because access to screening centers is limited to client priorities.
According to the VaccinTrackerQC site, 24,833 doses of the vaccine have been given in the past 24 hours, mainly secondary booster doses.
The percentage of people aged 5 and over who received the first dose was 91.42%. It was also reported that 87.67% of the Quebec population received a second dose and 59.09% received a booster dose.
