Quebec is reporting 89 new deaths related to COVID-19 today, bringing the toll to 3,220.

Premier Francois Legault says the province now has 39,931 confirmed cases of the novel coronavirus, an increase of 706 cases.

Legault says the province continues to miss its testing target of 14,000 tests per day, and is only able to administer 9,000 per day.

The premier is once again urging people to wear masks when they leave the house, but says the government won't make wearing them mandatory for now.
