QUÉBEC CITY, July 12, 2022 /CNW Telbec/ - The most recent data on the evolution of COVID-19, in the last 24 hours, in Québec show:
- 2 076 new cases, bringing the total number of people infected to 1,114,660*;
- 23 new deaths reported in the last 24 hours, for a total of 15,697 deaths;
- 6,659 health care workers absent for COVID-related reasons (preventive withdrawal, isolation, awaiting results, etc.);
- 1,663 hospitalizations, for an increase of 54 compared to the previous day;
- 374 new entries,
- 320 new discharges;
- 38 people in intensive care, for a decrease of 6 compared to the previous day;

- 9,952 samples conducted on July 10;
- 247,533 self-declared rapid tests so far, including 205,701 positive: 679 declared for yesterday, including 590 positive.
*Note that the number of cases listed is not representative of the situation since access to screening centres is restricted to priority clienteles.
**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.
Vaccination
- 7,421 doses administered are added, for a cumulative total of 20,134,591 doses received by Quebecers.
