That brings Laval’s total to 76,793 confirmed cases since the start of the pandemic.

Unfortunately, 1,160 Laval citizens died from it, which represents an increase of one compared to the previous seven days.

As for vaccination, 89.7 per cent of Laval’s population received at least one dose of vaccine. Of them, 87 per cent have received their second dose, and 50.4 per cent got a first booster dose. That data is at 18.4 per cent when it comes to the second booster dose. In total, it represents 1,038,063 doses given in the region since the start of vaccinations.

It’s the ninth highest provincial total behind Montreal (5,119,473), the Montérégie (3,427,706), the Capitale-Nationale (1,932,228), the Laurentides (1,495,000), the Mauricie and the Centre-du -Quebec (1,280,624), Lanaudière (1,244,439), the Estrie (1,225,289) and Chaudière-Appalaches (1,072,002).

The CISSS also specified that 60 employees of its network (increase of 11) were absent from work due to the virus.

To clarify, the data used for confirmed cases of COVID-19 are now coming from the laboratory database, rather than from the Public Health Trajectories (TSP) information system as before.

This new method no longer makes it possible to present data from Laval’s sectors, since the information on the place of residence is often incorrectly entered, or missing. (N.P.)
