The region, which recorded a fresh new 198 cases of COVID-19 on 11th November, has the highest rate of active cases per 100,000 inhabitants among the regions of Quebec, at more than 370.

He said: “We are currently seeing many more cases in Saguenay in our factories in Quebec than we saw in the first wave and that worries us, because the production, you can change it, but if [you] lose, it becomes very complex to manage.”
