The World Health Organization has officially declared COVID-19 a pandemic.
For now, the spread of the coronavirus (COVID-19) is under control in Québec. Community transmission of the virus extends to all regions of Québec. The Government is taking all the necessary measures to contain the contagion as much as possible.
The most recent data on the evolution of COVID-19, in the last 24 hours, in Québec show:
- 1 154 nouveaux cas, pour un total de 1 161 491 personnes infectées* ;
- 18 nouveaux décès rapportés dans les 24 dernières heures, pour un total de 16 116 décès ;
- 4 334 travailleurs de la santé absents pour des raisons liées à la COVID (retrait préventif, isolement, en attente de résultats, etc.) ;
- 2 000 hospitalisations, dont 678 en raison de la COVID-19, soit une diminution de 56 par rapport à la veille ;
- 123 nouvelles entrées,
- 179 nouvelles sorties ;
- 57 personnes aux soins intensifs, dont 30 en raison de la COVID-19, soit une augmentation de 2 par rapport à la veille ;
- 10 nouvelles entrées,
- 8 nouvelles sorties ;
- 11 928 prélèvements réalisés le 10 août ;
- 274 839 tests rapides autodéclarés jusqu’à maintenant, dont 229 904 positifs : 224 déclarés pour la journée d’hier, dont 196 positifs.
*Rappelons que le nombre de cas répertorié n’est pas représentatif de la situation puisque l’accès aux centres de dépistage est restreint aux clientèles prioritaires.
Vaccination
- 10 563 doses administrées s’ajoutent, pour un total de 20 433 004 doses administrées au Québec.
**Since July 11, a new database is used for confirmed cases of COVID-19. This change in source has an effect on the number of cumulative cases, since the number of reinfections with COVID-19 is now accounted for and the number of cases by epidemiological link is excluded. This new method mitigates the impacts of daily data variability and minimizes corrective actions required.

Distribution of the number of daily deaths related to the COVID-19 according to their living environment
The reported number of deaths for the most recent days may be underestimated due to a delay in reporting the death or in the data input.

In Canada, COVID-19 is a serious health threat, and the situation is evolving daily. The risk will vary between and within communities, but given the increasing number of cases in Canada, the risk to Canadians is considered high. You can find information about the outbreak in the Current situation section on the Government of Canada’s site.
Scenarios for the evolution of COVID-19
At a time when the authorities are considering a gradual resumption of economic, social and clinical activities, the experts looked into the impacts it could have on the trajectory of the pandemic and on the resources to cope with it.
