It is interesting to contemplate why Quebec’s Coronavirus Covid-19 cases have skyrocketed.
ReplyDeleteMontreal did emerge Canada’s COVID-19 hot spot. Montreal has about 5 per cent of Canada’s population. However, Montreal has about 1 quarter of the country’s COVID-19 cases.
The province of Quebec has 22 per cent of Canada’s population. Quebec has about half of the country’s cases.
A recent spring break and people coming in from other virus-infected cities created more infections in Quebec.
