Quebec reported the deaths of 30 more people Tuesday while hospital numbers fell sharply amid the ongoing COVID-19 health crisis
Pandemic-related hospitalizations stood at 1,742, a decrease of 34 compared with the previous day. This includes 107 patients in intensive care units, a drop of 12.
Health officials say 101 patients were admitted to hospitals across the province in the past 24-hour period, while 135 left.
Quebec recorded 1,438 new novel coronavirus cases, but the daily tally doesn’t accurately reflect the current situation since access to government-run PCR screening sites are limited to high-risk groups.
