MONTREAL — Ontario and Quebec are reporting their lowest numbers of new COVID-19 cases in months. 

Quebec is reporting fewer than 300 new COVID-19 cases today for the first time since mid-September, with 276 new infections and one more death attributed to the novel coronavirus.

Several regions in Quebec were downgraded to orange from red on the province’s pandemic-alert system, allowing high school students to return to in-person classes full-time and gyms and indoor restaurant dining to reopen. 

Ontario is reporting 916 new cases of COVID-19 today, which is its lowest daily total since February.

The last time that province reported fewer cases was on Feb. 17, with 847 new infections.
