On Wednesday, Quebec reported 1,562 people in hospital (a decrease of 37 from the previous day), including 53 in intensive care (an increase of five from the previous day).
The province reported 626 new cases of COVID-19 and 14 deaths.
Since the start of the pandemic, there have been 1,060,045 confirmed cases, and 15,326 people have died.
The province also reported 5,039 health-care workers absent for COVID-related reasons.
91 per cent of the eligible population in the province (aged five and up) has received at least one dose of the vaccine; 55 per cent have received a third dose and 13 per cent have received a fourth dose.
