April 20, 2022
Quebec recorded 26 new deaths and a 100-patient jump linked to the ongoing COVID-19 health crisis Wednesday.
The number of pandemic-related hospitalizations stood at 2,381, following 235 admissions and 135 discharges in the last day.
Intensive care unit cases stayed the same for a total of 101.
The daily tally included 2,330 new novel coronavirus infections, though this isn’t fully representative of the situation since access to PCR screening remains limited.
On that note, 18,025 tests were administered by the province on Monday. There is always a two-day delay for screening data.
Health authorities say the results of 1,138 additional rapid tests were declared by Quebecers on the government’s online portal. This includes 926 results that were positive for the virus.
