Quebec said on Monday that data on new COVID-19-positive PCR tests would not be available in the daily update today.
However, the update read that there were 89 new positive self-declared rapid tests, bringing that total to 262,635.
The province also said that there were no new deaths due to the novel coronavirus reported, meaning the number of deaths since the start of the pandemic remains at 17,325.
The Ministry of Health also said that a change in methodology means that new hospitalization and intensive care unit numbers are no longer available on Mondays.
