Faced with record-breaking daily COVID-19 infections, Quebec Premier François Legault will outline the province’s next steps in the pandemic response at a press conference at 6pm Wednesday.
The premier did not reveal which public health measures will be announced just three days before Christmas, but did say on social media that “Quebec is faced with very difficult choices” ahead, as are other jurisdictions around the world.
“What guides us is the ability or not to treat sick Quebecers in the coming weeks. We will come back to you tomorrow with our decisions,” he said in a tweet on Tuesday.
Health Minister Christian Dubé and public health director Dr. Horacio Arruda will also be present at the news conference, which CTV will carry live.
The daily case count on Wednesday shattered the new record set on Tuesday of 5,043 cases, rising to 6,361.
