According to data obtained by the French daily, La Presse, at least 4,000 healthcare workers across Quebec have tested positive for COVID-19.

The newspaper reported that one in five positive COVID-19 test results is a Quebec healthcare worker, representing about 20 per cent of known cases across the province.

“The CIUSSS du Center-Sud-de-l’Île-de-Montréal alone has 1,020 infected employees. A statistic which makes you dizzy, but which is far from surprising the experts,” Fanny Lévesque, LA PRESSE.

Last weekend the province was shaken upon hearing of the first death of a patient attendant working in a Montreal CHSLD.
