There are now 1,750 people in hospital, a net increase of 158, after 321 were admitted and 163 were no longer in care.

Quebec announced new public health measures Thursday aimed at encouraging non-vaccinated Quebecers to get their first shot of a COVID-19 vaccine.
As of Jan. 18, a vaccine passport will be required to access SAQ and SQDC stores that sell alcohol and cannabis products.
Quebec Health Minister Christian Dubé made the announcement in Montreal as pandemic-related hospitalizations continue to skyrocket.
Dubé said proof of vaccination will also be required to access non-essential businesses providing personal care services. A date of when the new rule will come into effect has yet to be determined as discussions are ongoing with service industry providers.
Dubé said he hopes the new measures will act as an incentive for the non-vaccinated to get vaccinated...
