In all, 425,393 Cubans were infected with COVID-19 and 11,493 died.
A total of 244 people were hospitalized due to the consequences of the virus. Of these, 67 are in intensive care.
Regarding the vaccine, 90% of Quebecs aged 12 years and older received the first dose of the vaccine. 87% of them reached twice.
