    Another 73 people have died in Quebec due to COVID-19, a total of 13,009 since the start of the pandemic.

    There are eight fewer Quebecers in hospital to be treated for COVID-19, a total of 3,270 people.

    Intensive care admissions are down by 11, for a total of 252 people receiving care.

    Of the new hospitalizations, 16 are under the age of four (an age group not eligible for vaccination) and two are between the ages of five and 11.

    An additional 27 people under the age of 59 and 49 aged 60 and older are unvaccinated or received their first dose less than 14 days ago.

    Four people under the age of 59 and five aged 60 and older have one dose of vaccine, while 30 people under the age of 59 and 65 aged 60 and older received their second dose of vaccine more than seven days ago.

    Four people under the age of 59 and 70 aged 60 and older received their third dose more than seven days ago.

    Quebec Health Minister Christian Dubé points out vaccination does not completely prevent infection, but it does decrease the risk of dire consequences.

    The province's seven-day average is 4,735.

    Quebec is reporting 4,150 new recorded COVID-19 cases, bringing the total number of people infected to 845,564 since the start of the pandemic...

      Quebec registered 56 new deaths attributed to the COVID-19 pandemic as hospitalizations fell Thursday.

      The number of pandemic-related hospitalizations dropped by 117 to 3,153. This includes 235 people in intensive care units, a decrease of 17 compared with the previous day.

      This comes after 231 patients were admitted while 348 left hospitals across the province in a 24-hour period.

      Quebec also reported 3,956 new novel coronavirus cases, but officials have said the daily count isn’t representative of the current situation since PCR testing is limited to priority clientele, like teachers and health-care workers....

      • High January death toll partly due to Quebec’s slow COVID-19 booster campaign: experts

        JACOB SEREBRIN
        MONTREAL
        THE CANADIAN PRESS
        PUBLISHED YESTERDAY

        January isn’t over, but with 1,144 COVID-19 deaths reported this month in Quebec, it’s already the fifth deadliest month of the COVID-19 pandemic in the province.
        ...
        As of Jan. 21, about 87 per cent of deaths linked to COVID-19 over the preceding 28 days involved people 70 and older. And unlike in previous waves, most of those who died were living at home instead of in long-term care homes or private seniors residences.

        As well, of those people 70 and older who died in the current wave, 22 per cent were unvaccinated and 34.7 per cent had received a third dose of vaccine more than seven days before their deaths. The Health Department says 76 per cent of Quebecers 60 and over have received three doses of a COVID-19 vaccine and 94 per cent have received at least two.
        ...
        Quebec began administering third doses in long-term care centres in mid-October. The government didn’t make boosters available to people 80 and older living in the community until a month later, when the campaign to give third doses to long-term care and private seniors residents was coming to an end. Appointments for boosters only opened to people 70 and older in late November.
        ...
        According to data from Quebec’s public health institute, 66.4 per cent of those who died with COVID-19 this month lived in the community, up from 33.6 per cent in January 2021. In April and May 2020, the two deadliest months of the pandemic, less than 10 per cent of COVID-19 victims lived at home, and the majority of deaths reported involved people who lived in long-term care.
        ...
        Quebec has reported more deaths linked to COVID-19 than any other province, both since the beginning of the pandemic and over the past two weeks, according to federal government data. The province, which accounts for less than 23 per cent of Canada’s population, reported 45.5 per cent of all COVID-19 deaths reported in the whole country over the past two weeks.

        Tara Moriarty, a University of Toronto professor who wrote a report for the Royal Society of Canada on mortality linked to the pandemic, said Quebec has a better – and faster – death-reporting system than other provinces. The province also tests more people for COVID-19 after death than almost any other province, she added.
        ...

        “I think that people need to watch Quebec and understand that that’s probably the reality of what’s happening”

        Two health experts say Quebec’s high death toll is due, in part, to its slow campaign to deliver booster doses to people 70 and older living outside institutional care
        "Safety and security don't just happen, they are the result of collective consensus and public investment. We owe our children, the most vulnerable citizens in our society, a life free of violence and fear."
        -Nelson Mandela

                            Quebec has recorded 50 new deaths due to COVID-19 as of Wednesday, with other indicators continuing to drop, showing the Omicron wave is still waning.

                            The total number of hospitalized COVID-19 patients dropped again from Tuesday to Wednesday, this time by over 100. There are 122 fewer people in hospital overall, for a current total of 2,730, the province reported.

                            That included 206 people newly admitted and 328 newly discharged.

                            There was a decrease of 14 patients in intensive care after 23 were admitted and 37 left the ICU unit, adding up to a current total of 204.

                            The province reported 3,816 new cases of the virus, but official tests are still limited to a very small sector of the population, making the number an unreliable indicator.

                            The positivity rate of those tests is at 11.6 per cent, roughly steady with the rate over the last two weeks.

                            More than 50,000 Quebecers have self-reported their home rapid tests so far using the province's new online platform.

                            Since yesterday, 1,000 reported new at-home positive results in the last 24 hours...

                              Hospitalizations continued to fall in Quebec as the province reported 42 new pandemic-related deaths Thursday.
