Quebec Premier Francois Legault is extending the closure of non-essential businesses in the province to May 4.
Legault says COVID-19 is still on an upward slope in Quebec and it would be unrealistic to keep to the original April 13 end date.
The premier announced there were 19 new deaths in Quebec, for a total of 94, and 947 new cases for a total of 7,944.
He says he hopes the number of new cases in the province will peak in the coming weeks.
