As Quebec talks about certain aspects of life returning to normal — with the gradual reopening of primary schools and certain sectors of the economy, as well as a loosening of certain travel restrictions between regions — things are far from normal in certain parts of Montreal.
On Tuesday, regional public health director for Montreal, Dr. Mylène Drouin, said certain neighbourhoods and boroughs — comprising the northeastern parts of the island — were dealing with COVID-19 outbreaks, including Rivière-des-Prairies, Saint-Michel and Montreal North.
As of Tuesday, the number of confirmed cases of COVID-19 in Montreal was at 12,487. Montreal North, with 1,153 cases, has the highest rate per 100,000 residents anywhere in Montreal.
