Quebec’s interim public health director, Dr. Luc Boileau, estimated Wednesday that two million residents, or about 25 per cent of the population, have contracted the virus since early December.
During a news conference on Wednesday, Quebec’s interim public health director, Dr. Luc Boileau, said an estimated two million residents, or about 25 per cent of the population, has contracted the virus since the beginning of December.
He based the estimate on "indirect" indicators from public health regarding the highly contagious Omicron variant that dominated the fifth wave of the pandemic.
Since March 2020, nearly half of the Quebec population has been infected, he added.
“The virus is still circulating a lot,” in Quebec, Boileau said, but the risk of the situation deteriorating going forward is a “calculated” one.
