With the latest coronavirus updates from around the country Thursday, Quebec remains the province with the highest death toll and caseload.

Friday is also only the third time in the last 30 days that the daily death toll has dipped into double digits.

More than 300,000 people around the world have died due to coronavirus so far, with more than 85,000 fatalities in the U.S. alone.

Despite the grim milestone, officials say the country's curve is flattening.

"Our system is not set up for any type of real-time feedback of mortality," according to a University of Toronto public health professor.

Montreal is the hardest hit, with nearly 20,000 cases -- almost as many as all of Ontario -- and more than 1,850 deaths.
