COVID-19 in Quebec: What you need to know Monday
CBC
Note: Quebec's Health Ministry does not publish the number of vaccines administered on weekends and public holidays.
Health-care workers who aren't adequately vaccinated will lose their salary bonuses, starting today.
Quebec has offered bonuses for the past year and a half to health-care workers. Front-line health-care workers received an 8 per cent salary increase, whereas employees who were at a lower risk of exposure to COVID-19 received a 4 per cent increase.
Staff who aren't adequately vaccinated would also be ineligible for the recently announced $15,000 bonus, Health Minister Christian Dubé told Radio-Canada's Tout le monde en parle last night.
"The most important thing for me is to protect our network and protect our patients, so there will be difficult decisions to make on Nov. 15." he said.
There are 14,000 health-care workers who are not adequately protected.
Canadians will still need to take a molecular test, like the expensive PCR test, in order to return to Canada from the United States after the land border reopens to fully vaccinated travellers on Nov. 8.
