2021 begins with Covid record
Basic Covid numbers are out Sunday after two days off, and we’ve had 7,663 new cases in Quebec since New Year’s Eve including one record-breaking day with 2,869 cases recorded.
Earlier Sunday, someone on Twitter said they wished there was a source for info on the settings in which Covid was being passed around, and someone else showed them a sample of official Quebec data. Since I had the impression it was on the same Santé Québec page where I get the numbers for the blog sidebar box I didn’t follow the link.
Well, it isn’t. The numbers I saw showed that workplaces were a significant source of contagion, and I want to find that data again. Anyone?

Is this it?

There appear to be statistics on “outbreaks” by environment. But, I’m not entirely sure what percentage of all cases are associated with one of these recorded outbreaks.

I need a comment do-over. I didn’t realize I posted the same page you have linked in the sidebar until AFTER I clicked reply.
I did find another page: https://www.inspq.qc.ca/covid-19/sante-au-travail/eclosions-travail
This one seems to have a report that’s updated weekly on the status of outbreaks and cases in various economic sectors, excluding long-term care facilities.

Thank you, Bryan. I found the tweet, which was a reply to one of Aaron Derfel’s thread.
It’s on this page and you have to select “Tableau” instead of “Graphique”
on the tab.

Thanks for that page Brian. It also so shows what regions have put vaccinations in arms. I am kind of taken aback, considering Montreal and Laval’s population, how few vaccines have been administered.

But there’s so little Vaccine yet arrived in Canada, so does slow really matter? At least some of the delay is due to a select type of people, spread out. And the need to keep it cold. I’d be more worried later when (hopefully) the supply is running fast. If there are delays then, they are doing it wrong. They have to learn from now and get everything in place for when the Vaccine pours in.
I’m not waiting past May unless the Vaccine is still in.limited supplt.
