Quebec is pushing back the reopening of retail stores in the greater Montreal area by one week, to May 18.

Premier Francois Legault said today there are too many COVID-19 patients in Montreal's hospitals to safely open retail stores by the originally scheduled date.

Legault says the construction and manufacturing sectors across Quebec will reopen, as scheduled, on May 11.

Meanwhile, Quebec recorded another 75 COVID-19 deaths, for a total of 2,280, and the province announced 32,623 confirmed cases of the virus, an increase of 758 over the previous day.
