Quebec is reporting 97 more deaths linked to COVID-19, brining the provincial tally to 1,340.
But Premier Francois Legault says the situation in Quebec is divided between the province's hard-hit seniors and long-term care homes and the rest of the province where the situation is stable.
Legault says he knows he's been telling Quebecers to stay home for weeks, but he says the province will present a plan next week to gradually relaunch the economy and reopen schools and daycares.
The province reported 22,616 confirmed cases of the virus today, with 1,460 people hospitalized and 227 in intensive care.
