Quebec reports massive increase with almost 100 COVID-19 deaths
CTV
Quebec reported Saturday that 96 more people have died due to COVID-19 and hospitalizations for novel coronavirus treatment rose by 110.
The last time the Quebec Institute of Public Health (INSPQ) reported as many deaths was May 5, 2020 when 100 deaths were reported. The INSPQ adjusts death numbers after the fact noting that there is a delay in the death itself and the recording of the death. For example, Thursday Quebec reported 45 deaths, and the INSPQ now reports that number as 14.
The province has now reported 12,289 deaths due to COVID-19.
Hospitalizations for novel coronavirus treatment rose by a net increase of 110 with 473 patients checking in for treatment and 363 being discharged. There are now 3,195 people in Quebec hospitals.
Of the new patients, 322 were double-vaccinated, 129 were unvaccinated, 15 received one dose of vaccine and seven were under five years old when they checked in.
