Quebec Premier Francois Legault sounded a cautiously optimistic note about the state of the COVID-19 pandemic in his province on Friday, pointing to the latest numbers on deaths and new infections.
Over the past 24 hours, 50 Quebecers died of the virus, the lowest daily death toll since mid-April. That brings the total death toll in Quebec since the beginning of the crisis to 3,401.
“It's important to see the trend. We can't just look at the numbers for one day. We can see there is good news,” said Legault. “The number of deaths, we can't base ourselves on one day's numbers, but it's been a while since we've seen such a low number.” In all, there have been 41,420 confirmed COVID-19 cases in the province, with 696 of those coming in the past day.- Au Québec, en date du 15 mai 2020 à 13 h 15, la situation est la suivante :41 420 cas confirmés
