Quebec political parties showed a united front on Tuesday as the province continues to struggle to get the health crisis under control, recording over 2,000 daily COVID-19 cases for four consecutive days.

“We’re all together to save our health system,” Premier François Legault said at a press conference in Montreal attended by the leaders of the opposition.
