Quebec is reporting an additional 50 deaths today linked to COVID-19, bringing the provincial total to 3,401.
Provincial health authorities also reported 41,420 confirmed cases, an increase of 696 in the past 24 hours.
Premier Francois Legault noted it has been some time since those numbers have been that low as he wrapped up a two-day visit to Montreal, the epicentre of COVID-19 cases and deaths in the province.
Legault says the province will give Montreal one million masks to distribute and provide $6 million to transit agencies in the Montreal area to make masks more widely available.
