Quebec is announcing 118 new COVID-19 deaths compared with the prior day, for a total of 2,398.
The province is also recording another 794 positive cases of COVID-19, for a total of 33,417 confirmed cases.
Quebec Premier Francois Legault said today about 11,200 workers are absent from the health-care network, either because they are sick, vulnerable to COVID-19 infection or otherwise too afraid to go into work.
He says about a third of them should be finishing their 14-day quarantines and is calling on them to return to work in the health-care network, especially in the province's struggling long-term care homes.
