Quebec health officials saw a spike in the number of COVID-19 infections and decided on Sunday to move three zones, including the island of Montreal, into “alert.”
The zones, the island of Montreal, part of the Capitale-Nationale region, including Quebec City, and the Chaudière-Appalaches region south of the capital, turned from yellow to orange on the provincial alert system map.
“Unfortunately, the contagion has amplified in three regions. Cases are increasing, outbreaks are multiplying and our ability to treat the sick is diminishing,” said Quebec Health Minister Christian Dubé at a rare Sunday evening news conference.
