Quebec reported 251 cases today, as well as an additional 248 that had previously gone unreported in Montreal.

Dr. Mylne Drouin, the city's public health director, said the additional cases wererecorded betweenSept. 9 and Sept. 14.

She blamed the delay on the increased demands on her team. The rise of cases has meant they have had to contact more people and that created a backlog in inputting data.
