Ontario and Quebec continue to report record-breaking numbers of new COVID-19

Ontario and Quebec both reported record-breaking numbers of new COVID-19 infections today.

Ontario reported 57-hundred and 90 new cases and Quebec 9,397 new infections.

Health officials in Montreal report one-fifth of residents getting tested are positive and that 90 per cent of infections are the Omicron variant.

Contact tracers in the city can no longer keep up with the crush of new infections.

A doctor who advises the Ontario government on COVID-19 says as high as today's number was, the real total is likely three to four times higher.
