Quebec Premier Francois Legault is warning the province could run out of some kinds of medical supplies in three to seven days.
He made the announcement as the total number of cases in Quebec rose to 4,162, which is an increase of 732 from yesterday.
There were also six more deaths due to COVID-19, bringing the province's death toll to 31.
Legault said he hopes new shipments of medical supplies will arrive in coming days, and thanked Ontario Premier Doug Ford for agreeing to send Quebec some equipment.
