However, he could neither confirm if her state has worsened nor provide more details.
The patient’s first tests came back positive for the virus last week. Her final tests showed she had contracted COVID-19 after returning to Montreal from Iran via Doha, Qatar.
At the time, health officials said that because her symptoms were not considered to be severe, she was asked to stay at home in insolation.
This is the first confirmed case of the coronavirus in the province.
Quebec’s health ministry says that the risk of transmission remains low.
