The actress Salomé Corbo remembers the time when the deceased came to see her father at the Conservatory. We could hear his little [footsteps] on the marble. It brightened up my days between rehearsals of Racine’s tragedies. Today, Rosina has become a tragedy, contemporary and abominable, writes Ms. Corbo.
In December, due to a significant increase in hospitalizations related to COVID-19, the Quebec government set in motion its load shedding plan and began to postpone part or all of semi-urgent and non-urgent operations, colon cancer screening interventions, kidney transplants from living donors, except in pediatrics, and consultations in specialized outpatient clinics.
In mid-January, 140,000 Quebecers were awaiting surgery. In many regions of Quebec, more than 50% of surgeries have been postponed.
