Residents in Quebec are less worried than anywhere else in North America about an expected second wave of COVID-19 cases, according to a new poll.
The study, published Thursday by the COVID-19 Social Impacts Network with the Association for Canadian Studies, found that 86 per cent of all Canadians were concerned about another rise in cases this fall.
That number falls to just 78 per cent in Quebec, while Ontario leads the nation with 91 per cent of residents polled saying they were “somewhat” or “very” concerned.
According to the poll, just 32 per cent of Quebecers say they are “very” worried. That stands in stark contrast to 55 per cent of the whole of the United States.
