Of these, 119 are in intensive care, an increase of 5 from the previous day. The trend remains down 13% over one week.

Decrease in the number of cases

The province has recorded 1,064 new cases of COVID-19, a daily average of 1,741, down 29% from one week. As PCR tests are not offered to the entire population, the number of daily infections is less representative of the evolution of the pandemic.

Only the medical mask will be accepted as face covering for the public.
