Canada's two most-populous provinces are again smashing daily COVID-19 records.
Ontario has surpassed its previous one-day record set Christmas Day with 10,436 new COVID-19 cases.
Quebec is reporting more than 13,000 new infections.
As cases threaten to overwhelm Quebec's health-care system, unions say a plan to permit some asymptomatic staff who have tested positive for COVID-19 to stay on the job is too risky.
Meanwhile, Nunavut's premier says a ban on indoor gatherings is being extended to January 17th as a result of the rising case counts of the Omicron variant.
The territory now has 74 COVID-19 cases in eight communities.
