Quebec is reporting 163 new deaths because of COVID-19, bringing the total number of deaths in the province to 2,020.
The province has 28,648 confirmed cases of the virus in the province, but Quebec's public health director says the province will now try to put those fatality numbers in chronological order to determine where they're at with flattening the COVID-19 curve.
Dr. Horacio Arruda noted that of the 163 deaths reported today, only 22 date from the past 24 hours, so the province needs to place the deaths according to the date they actually occurred. Arruda says the province will do a report for the previous month going forward.
