Quebec reached a grim milestone Sunday when the province surpassed 10,000 deaths due to COVID-19 since the start of the pandemic as 32 new deaths were added.
MONTREAL For the second day in a row, the province reported the same number of new COVID-19 cases, when Quebec said 1,053 more people have tested positive for the virus in the past 24 hours. The total number of infections since the start of the pandemic is now 265,579. Of those who tested positive for novel coronavirus, the province reports that 242,692 have recovered from the disease, which is 1,155 more than Tuesday. The Quebec Institute of Public Health is reporting that there are 12,988 active COVID-19 cases. The number of deaths due to COVID-19 continues to creep near 10,000, and the province reported 37 more deaths due to the disease Wednesday, bringing that total to 9,899.
MONTREAL In a significant drop from the last week s average numbers, Quebec reported Monday that 890 more people have tested positive for COVID-19 in the past day. It s the first time since early November that the province has reported a day with less than 1,000 new cases. The drop comes as Quebecers wait to hear, in a Tuesday press conference by Premier François Legault, which of their current public health restrictions will be lifted or eased, as the premier has predicted. Just a day earlier, on Sunday, the seven-day average of new cases stood at 1,279. Today s drop drove it further down, to an average of 1,234.
MONTREAL As Quebecers anxiously await Premier Francois Legault s upcoming announcement on post-curfew health measures, the province announced Saturday that 1,367 more people have tested positive for COVID-19 in the past 24 hours. The number is higher than the seven-day average for new cases which is 1,312 per day. The total number of positive cases reported in Quebec since the start of the pandemic is now 261,360. The Quebec Institute of Public Health reports that there are 14,509 active novel coronavirus cases in the province. Of those, 1,572 more people are reported to have recovered from the disease bringing that total to 237,088. The province also reported that 46 more people have died due to the virus including 14 deaths since Friday, 23 deaths between Jan. 23 and Jan. 28, and nine before Jan. 23.
MONTREAL The responses of a few thousand Quebecers to a questionnaire on their lifestyle clearly show that the current health crisis has been a negative vector in several respects over the past year. Recent results from some 60 questions asked online to approximately 3,300 adults allowed the Quebec Institute of Public Health (INSPQ) to illustrate graphs showing deteriorations in the quality of sleep, consumption of junk food, fruits and vegetables, screen time, physical activity and weight gain. Respondents admitted that during the period from Dec. 11 to 23 compared to the same time last year, the quality of sleep decreased for many, especially among those aged between 18 and 59 years. Women seemed to be more affected by the phenomenon than men.
