Quebec registered 29 new deaths linked to COVID-19 and a two-patient drop in pandemic-related hospitalizations Tuesday.

Officials say 1,252 people were hospitalized with the disease across the province, after 98 patients were admitted and 100 left in the last day.

Intensive care unit cases also decreased by two for a total of 77.
