According to the open data site, 2,252 people were in hospital with COVID-19, a decline of 38 from the day before.
There were 74 people in intensive care, down six from the previous day.
Quebec’s interim public health director said Thursday the province has recorded more pandemic-related deaths than other Canadian jurisdictions because it has counted cases where the primary cause of death was not COVID-19.
