Quebec Premier Francois Legault says 31 people have died at a west-end Montreal long-term care home that is now under trusteeship.

Legault said at least five patients at the Residence Herron in Dorval, Que., died after testing positive for COVID-19.

The premier says Quebec's Health Department has ordered an investigation and the province's Public Security Department has also asked for a police investigation.

Legault says the owner of the long-term care residence owns other such homes and they will all be inspected.
