Quebec public health officials reported Saturday that 57,300 people have now tested positive for COVID-19 and 5,654 people have died due to the virus since the start of the pandemic.
As of Saturday, Quebec reported that 50,027 people have recovered from the virus, which is 88 more than a day ago. Health authorities announced they are now using a new system for calculating the number of people who have recovered from COVID-19 -- a decision which immediately sent the province's, and Canada's, recovery numbers skyrocketing Friday.
On July 16, health officials analyzed 15,258 samples, which is 306 more than the 14,952 analyzed July 15. .. The new directive applies to all people over 12 years of age, and businesses are expected to enforce the rules or face fines ranging from $400 to $6,000.
