"I find it unacceptable the way we treat our seniors in Quebec," said a visibly moved Legault during a press conference, saying he feared "gross negligence" at the private residence. Of the 31 deaths, at least five are due to coronavirus but the cause for the 26 others is still unknown, Legault said. We owe it to our seniors to treat them with dignity." On Saturday, there were 12,292 cases of coronavirus in the province of Quebec and 289 deaths, 48 more than the day before.
