On Sunday, Quebec reported 896 new cases, a figure close to the worst days in April and May. There are currently 216 COVID-19 patients in hospital, including 41 in intensive care. According to experts, the lower hospitalization numbers can be explained by the larger percentages of young people who are testing positive for the disease. Dr. François Marquis, head of intensive care at Maisonneuve-Rosemont Hospital in Montreal, said the younger patients he's seen have taken longer to recover. The government needs to take firm and clear action to explain to people why this is such an issue."
