Quebec's health ministry said Monday there were three new deaths related to COVID-19, bringing the number of deaths to 16,957.
The latest data on hospitalizations was not available since the ministry no longer collects hospital data over the weekends.

In its update on Monday, the Ministry of Health and Social Services said there were 3,322 health-care workers absent due to the coronavirus, which is down by 205 missing workers seven days ago.

The positivity rate on Monday was 8.2 per cent.
Health-care workers administered 10,754 vaccine doses in the last 24 hours, bringing the total number of shots given to Quebecers to 21,715,901.
