COVID-19 in Quebec: What you need to know this weekend

Note: Quebec's Health Ministry does not publish the number of vaccine doses administered over the weekend. 

On Sept. 1, there were 138 COVID-19 patients in the province's hospitals. By the end of the month, the total was 310.

Even though that number more than doubled during the month of September, the Quebec government is pleased with how things are going during the pandemic's fourth wave, Health Minister Christian Dubé said earlier this week.

"Relatively speaking, we had a good month of September," Dubé said during a news conference on Thursday. "I think it's important to acknowledge that."

The daily COVID-19 caseload got heavier during the month of August, but that appears to have plateaud for now. 

On Saturday, Quebec reported 640 cases, leading to a seven-day average of 606. Nearly 13 million COVID-19 vaccine doses have been administered in Quebec. 

As of Oct. 8, show venues in Quebec will no longer have restrictions on the number of people they take in.
