Quebecers living less healthy and many ignoring health measures, INSPQ surveys find

  MONTREAL A pair of surveys from the Quebec Institute of Public Health suggest that during the COVID-19 pandemic, Quebecers are in front of screens more, eating more junk food and having a harder time sleeping well, while at the same time, many Quebecers continue to hold private gatherings with people they don t live with despite public health guidelines. NOT FOLLOWING HEALTH MEASURES For those 35 per cent of people who admitted to visiting other bubbles or having people over in the past seven days, 18 to 24-year-olds were most likely (44 per cent) followed by those 25 to 44 years old (42 per cent). Twelve per cent of those surveyed also said they practiced sports indoors, and 13 per cent have travelled to another region of Quebec within the week despite the province s leaders urging its citizens to avoid both practices.

Indian coronavirus variant positive case confirmed in Quebec, first in Canada

MONTREAL A fifth variant type of the novel coronavirus COVID-19 has been detected in Quebec. The health department in the Mauricie-et-Centre-du-Quebec region reported Wednesday that the B.1.617 variant, first sequenced in India, has been reported. This is the first case associated with the Indian variant in Quebec, said CIUSSS de la Mauricie-et-du-Centre-du-Quebec information officer Julie Michaud. It s not the first such case in Canada, but there have been very few in the country. British Columbia confirmed 39 cases of the variant through genome sequencing. It s known as the double mutant because it contains two distinct mutations of the original COVID-19 virus. Each of those mutations has been seen in other variants, separately, but this variant has both at once.
