Thanks for making this page. Mackinaw ( talk) 17:43, 19 March 2020 (UTC)
March 24th had 1013 cases, NOT 1040. Why are my fixes from 1040 to 1013 being reverted back to 1040? See https://web.archive.org/web/20200324220312/https://www.quebec.ca/sante/problemes-de-sante/a-z/coronavirus-2019/situation-coronavirus-quebec/ for confirmation.

I understand that we don’t need to show the exact numbers in a table, but why remove the map? — kentronhayastan 14:29, 6 April 2020 (UTC)
Is there a reason for the formatting/ordering of this section? Do the numbers have significance? Also we do not include wikilinks in section headings. ViperSnake151 Talk 19:13, 10 April 2020 (UTC)
Is there way to add spaces between the % change bracket and the number of cases on the "COVID-19 cases in Quebec, Canada" graph? The second the province hit 5 digits in cases, the bracket started overlapping the amount of cases (April 8 and onward) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Fornico ( talk • contribs) 00:09, 11 April 2020 (UTC)
I believe all the dates on this page are off by 1 day. The cases, according to the official government site is 1 day behind the date that we are displaying here. I believe the confusion is that they are mentioned the following day by the prime minister, but I believe we should follow the date provided by the official government. Consider this for a moment: as it stands, it looks like there were 16,798 cases on April 17, but in truth, April 17 is not yet over, and that number of cases is actually for April 16. — kentronhayastan 17:53, 17 April 2020 (UTC)
These vary from the French Wikipedia so I thought I'd let contributors know about: WP:CITEFOOT, MOS:CITEPUNCT, MOS:QUOTEMARKS and MOS:PUNCT. Happy editing, — Paleo Neonate – 09:00, 18 April 2020 (UTC)
Numbers don't add up for Apr 19, someone put the wrong values for the regions in the template chart [1] — Preceding unsigned comment added by FornicoP ( talk • contribs) 18:22, 20 April 2020 (UTC)
Bonjour Wikipedians from Quebec, So the largest city in the province of Quebec is Montreal. I hope anyone will create article titled 2020 coronavirus pandemic in Montreal, The proposed article will be titled as 2020 coronavirus pandemic in Montreal will be focused on the pandemic specifically within the city of Montreal, Quebec including the nearby city of Laval, Quebec. The propose article will include how many active cases, how many deaths, how many recoveries and how many overall cases within the city of Montreal. The IP number 45.73.109.22 from Gatineau, Quebec has made a requested article to be created as an article and the sister article to the 2020 coronavirus pandemic in Quebec. I will by happy for anyone's reply for the requested article to created and will be only focused on the city of Seattle. Thanks for your time. Come back some other time. 2001:569:74D2:A800:E8A7:C78A:4BC8:6B88 ( talk) 06:53, 22 April 2020 (UTC)
After reading this, I don't think this article really needs any copy-editing. Would it be safe to remove it? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Applemonkey496 ( talk • contribs) 18:08, 6 May 2020 (UTC)
This article must differentiate between the province of Quebec and the city of Quebec, as it is not clear which is being referred to. My suggestion would be to state 'Quebec City' when the city is the topic. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.138.217.79 ( talk) 18:38, 13 May 2020 (UTC)
Hi, I'm new to Wikipedia as an editor. I was wondering, what is the source of the historical data used in this page? I'm talking specifically about the giant "Breakdown of cases" table and associated charts etc. I'm writing this message on July 16th and noticed that there have been no data updates for July 13-14-15. Wanted to do it myself but couldn't figure out the data source and methodologies. Tried comparing to some other sources of data and couldn't resolve the numbers in a way that was consistent. Sorry if this post is too noob, I've never tried to do an edit before. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Zibalatz ( talk • contribs) 05:26, 16 July 2020 (UTC)
The last footnote currently reads: On 17 July 2020, the large jump in recoveries is due to an update of previously stale data by the Institut national de santé publique du Québec (INSPQ), mostly for the Montreal region.
These two new articles say that the criteria had changed but that Quebec did not specify what system they were using to calculate recoveries when they announced the dramatic increase Friday morning
[1] and that it’s unclear what has changed in the province’s criteria for designating a case as “recovered” since Quebec health authorities did not provide an explanation of their methodology before and after the new surge.
[2] Is there an explanation from the government? —

The list of new cases by region is wildly contradicted by the bar graphs beneath them. It appears the bar graphs use old numbers with new dates put underneath them. 96.54.128.82 ( talk) 01:03, 28 August 2020 (UTC)

Bonjour,
On a remplacé la carte de densité de cas, qui n'a pas été mis à jour depuis le 24 mai, par celle des palier d'alerte par région administrative, qui est plus d'actualité et plus simple à mettre à jour également. Vous pourriez vouloir faire la même chose sur l'article anglais. Dirac ( talk) 13:44, 29 September 2020 (UTC)
The map and legend hasn't been updated since the 24th of May, 2020. On that date, there were 47,411 total cases. There are 82,992 total cases as of October 8th, 2020 (date of this post) and rapidly rising, the map needs to reflect the current situation. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Fornico ( talk • contribs) 17:29, 8 October 2020 (UTC)
Wondering if we should be including the French only [2] website for the daily update data on the "Website" section of the infobox. It's used in the COVID-19 pandemic in Canada article, as it's the only daily updated data source for the pandemic in Quebec. CaffeinAddict ( talk) 03:57, 17 December 2020 (UTC)
I've added an update header so as to hopefully expedite some of the information that needs updated, some of which is mentioned in above talk page sections. CaffeinAddict ( talk) 14:59, 18 December 2020 (UTC)
I created a map that shows active cases per 100,000 by administrative region (as shown on the right — suggestions welcome), as I think it's a more informative statistic as to how the pandemic is currently going. However, I feel like having two maps in the infobox might make things a bit cluttered, so I'd like to get a second opinion (paging CaffeinAddict). Is it best to:
