Health Minister Christian Dubé says it is unacceptable that many Quebecers are waiting hours to return.
He said he had taken a step forward during the summer and is now deteriorating.
“I don’t like the stage at the screening clinics right now,” Dubé said, adding that he had insisted that fitness officials resolve the disorders and hoped they would be resolved in a few days.
He said the province better manages queues and uses more personal laboratories for testing.
Dubé did the at a press conference this afternoon.
At the same briefing, Horacio Arruda, director of public health of the province, this afternoon that in about two weeks Quebec would publish new projections on the expected evolution of the pandemic.
The news comes after Prime Minister Francois Legault revealed that he had not noticed any new projections since June.
Dubé also announced that Quebec prohibits restaurants and microbreweries from promoting alcohol after midnight, after the province imposed such a ban on bars last week.
The Minister of Health called on Quebecers to stay vigilant this weekend and not participate in rallies where physical remoteness and other fitness rules are respected.
“You have the strength to make sure your region doesn’t go orange,” he said.
The existing scenario is worrying but robust and at the moment no region is emerging from the yellow “pre-alert” level.
Three regions are about to change to orange: Lower St. Lawrence, Quebec and Montreal.
“We have to keep paying attention, ” said Dubé.
The seven-day moving average of increases in the number of instances in Quebec is now 300, he added.
This represents 30 consistent with millions of inhabitants.
In short, France, amid a strong buildup of infections, is approximately 150 cases consistent with millions, Dubé said.

After days of court cases that proved transparent, the Quebec government published a document explaining its color-coded alert system.
The formula started a week ago.
The province has now posted more main points on its website.

Prime Minister Francois Legault warns Quebecers to threaten online politicians.
“They would be careful before pressing, ” said Legault at a press conference.

He said that with the added instances, Montreal added an average of 90 to the new instances according to the day.
The increase in the number of instances did not rate Montreal in the province’s new color-coded alert system.
“We’re at the yellow level, the pre-alert level,” Drouin said.

Quebec is conducting an advertising crusade to convince others to adhere to public fitness guidelines, Prime Minister Francois Legault said this morning.
He said he would introduce others who had lost those who had enjoyed COVID-19, as well as other prominent young people.
This will convince other people who are still skeptical about the pandemic that it is genuine and has serious consequences, Legault said.
The Prime Minister made those comments at a press convention in Quebec City.
In response to the complaint that its regulations are not as strict as those of other provincial prime ministers, Legault said Quebec’s measures are those of the rest of Canada.
“We all face challenges,” he said.
How will Quebec manage with the growing number of cases similar to meetings and parties?
Legault said his government in talks with police officers on how the government “may be more difficult for others who do not adhere to (health) instructions. “
The prime minister also announced that he and other prime ministers, in addition to Ontario’s Doug Ford and Alberta’s Jason Kenney, will travel to Ottawa to discuss the provinces’ demands on federal affairs.
“We’re more powerful when we’re united,” Legault said.
