8231 new cases in Quebec

8,231 new cases of Covid turned up over the last 24 hours in Quebec, as Canada marked two million cases since the start of the pandemic. Emergency wards are still bracing for a rush as hospitalizations rose by 38% since official counts went silent for the Christmas break.

There’s also some gloomy déjà vu with the news of a CHSLD outbreak in St‑Hubert.

Update: Radio-Canada says Tuesday’s count will be 12,830.

Update again: there will be a presser at 1 pm Tuesday.
