Quebec Premier Francois Legault says 143 more people have died of COVID-19, bringing the provincial total to 630.
He says most of the deaths did not occur in the past 24 hours, but have been added the list following a change of data collecting methods by the public health department as well as post-mortem investigations.
There were also 997 new cases, for a total of 15,857.
Legault said 2,000 doctors responded to his call yesterday to come help in the province's overburdened long-term care homes.
