Note that as indicated on the CISSS de Laval website, these data by sector include all cases of citizens who test positive for COVID-19, whether they reside in closed environments or elsewhere in the community.

Closed environments include living environments such as residential and long-term care centers (CHSLD), private seniors’ residences (RPA), intermediate resources (RI), as well as correctional centers.

The data presented are calculated according to the place of residence. The CISSS is slow to determine the focus of 19 cases so far.
