Quebec is reporting 83 new COVID-19 deaths, bringing the provincial total to 1,682.

The province is also reporting a total of 25,757 confirmed cases.

Premier Francois Legault says while 1,625 people are in hospital, 94 are long-term care patients who have recovered but aren't being returned to their homes.

Legault says while the number of deaths have risen in long-term care homes, other deaths remain largely stable in the province.

He says that's why the government is moving ahead with a plan to restart the economy and reopen primary schools and daycares.
