Quebec adds 7,874 new COVID-19 cases

Quebec logged 7,874 new coronavirus cases Sunday, significantly fewer than days prior, though authorities warn of underestimation due to limited access to testing facilities.

There are now 58,287 active coronavirus infections within Quebec.

The mass of new cases comes the same day new gathering restrictions took affect, limiting indoor groups to six people total, rather than 10. 

Meanwhile, two of Montreal's largest hospital centres have shut their doors to visitors in several departments in an effort to limit the spread of Omicron.
