Quebec health officials say they are changing how COVID-19 data is reported to clarify how many people have recovered from the disease and provide a clearer picture of how many active cases there are in the province. Basically, according to the INSPQ, those who are believed to no longer contribute to the transmission of COVID-19 are considered recovered. Using this method, Quebec public health said in an email to CBC News there are currently 7,203 active cases in the province. Quebec has conducted more than one million tests, with nearly 670,000 coming back negative, according to Quebec public health. The province's current public health rules allow only 10 people in any one place at any private gathering, 50 if they are in a public place.
