Quebec COVID-19 cases spike again with 1,512 new infections

Quebec reported 1,512 new coronavirus cases on Saturday, the largest single-day increase in several months.

The last time the province reported cases that high was mid-April, as Quebec's springtime coronavirus wave peaked.

Public health is monitoring 806 active cases within the province. 

One more person has been reported dead due to the virus, bringing that total to 11,585 since the pandemic began. 

Despite the spike in cases, overall hospitalizations decreased. There were 225 people in care Saturday morning, a decrease of five since the day before.
