MONTREAL — Quebec Premier Francois Legault says the government will impose a vaccine passport system following a recent rise in COVID-19 infections.
Legault said today that Health Minister Christian Dube will announce details in the coming days about how the system will work and when it will begin. The announcement came as health officials reported 305 new COVID-19 cases in the province, including 72 in Montreal that are still under investigation and could be corrected.
There were no new deaths attributed to COVID-19, but 60 patients were listed in hospital, an increase of two, with one less patient in intensive care, for a total of 16. The premier told reporters that Quebec appears to be at the beginning of a fourth wave of COVID-19, with health experts suggesting case numbers will continue rising in the coming weeks along with hospitalizations and deaths.
