On Nov. 1, the Department of Health and Social Services released new details on the optimal time between vaccinations which would lead to the best possible outcome in vaccine efficacy.

This recommendation comes after a report from the Quebec Immunization Community outlined new details on the ongoing pandemic.

Regional active cases halved again this week as the latest data shows 45 active cases (14,261 total, 13,993 recovered) as of Nov. 1, 2021, down 50 from Oct. 25.

There are three hospitalizations at the designated COVID-19 centre in Hull, with three people in intensive care. The regional death toll rose by one to 223 total deaths reported in the Outaouais.

  • Municipality of Pontiac: 150
