Quebec is reporting 178 new cases of COVID-19 today, the fourth consecutive day health officials have reported fewer than 200 new infections.

The Health Department says hospitalizations dropped by six, to 257, and the number of intensive care patients remained unchanged at 60.

Health officials say 74,208 doses of vaccine were administered Tuesday and about 76.5 per cent of those over 12 have received at least one dose of vaccine.

The government says it expects to receive 21,700 doses of the Moderna vaccine this week.

Ontario is reporting 411 new cases of COVID-19 today and 33 more deaths linked to the virus.

A spokeswoman for the Ministry of Health says that 11 of the deaths reported today occurred in April and May.

The Ministry of Health says 571 people were hospitalized with the virus – 466 are in intensive care and 314 are on a ventilator.

The health authority says the plan for hospital visitors will proceed in two-to-four-week intervals, depending on the number of infections in the province, the vaccine rollout and the capacity of the health-care system to manage new cases.

Beginning today, two family members or support people will be allowed to visit patients in intensive care, critically ill patients in the emergency department and women in labour and after birth.

Under the second phase, slated to begin June 16 at the earliest, one family member or support person will be allowed to visit an admitted patient or a patient in the emergency department, and three family members or support people will be allowed for palliative care patients and others nearing end of life.

The third phase, scheduled to start June 30 at the earliest, would allow two family members or support people to visit admitted patients and four would be allowed to visit patients in palliative care and others nearing end of life.

Health officials in British Columbia say the province has a strong COVID-19 immunization rate at 74.5 per cent of all adults for their first dose of a vaccine.

The statement says as the province progresses towards step two of its restart plan, residents can be assured they’re on the right path as more people get vaccinated.

The next step would start June 15 at the earliest, and would allow for up to 50 people to gather together, lift provincial travel restrictions, and allow liquor to be served until midnight at pubs and restaurants and indoor high-intensity group exercise to resume.

That stage, tentatively set for late June or early July, will occur when 70 per cent of eligible Albertans – those age 12 and older – have had at least one COVID-19 vaccine dose.
