Québec COVID hospitalizations have decreased by 43 patients.
The latest data shows the province is dealing with 236 active outbreaks and 2,073 health workers absent from the system due to the virus.
There have been 17,811 deaths since the start of the pandemic, with none reported in the last 24 hours.
There are 1,946 people being treated in hospital with COVID-19.
Of those, 50 are in ICUs – that number is up by one.
A total of 488 new infections have been in the last 24 hours, with 27 tests self-declared by Québecers who were positive. The overall case numbers likely an undercount as access to PCR tests is limited to specific groups and not everyone self-declare their rapid tests.
