In grim first for Quebec, 19-year-old Montrealer dies of COVID-19 | CBC News – RIP

The father of Don Béni Kabangu Nsapu, the first Quebecer under 20 to die of COVID-19, struggles over the phone to make sense of his son’s death.

Alain Lukinda Nsapu says his son was a tall 19-year-old with no underlying health conditions. He was weeks away from entering Quebec’s CEGEP college program when he fell ill.

“It’s a bad shock for me,” said Lukinda Nsapu. “We’ve never heard of a young person dying from it here and for my son to be the first, it’s very painful. It hurts my heart.”

Paxton issued nonbinding legal guidance last month advising that religious private schools have unique legal protections and “need not comply” with local health officials’ orders to close.
