MONTREAL—A Quebec coroner’s inquest into deaths in long-term care homes during the pandemic’s first wave enters its final stage today, resuming after a month-long pause.

Almost 4,000 people died in the homes, known in Quebec as CHSLDs, between February and June 2020, accounting for nearly 70 percent of the deaths reported in the province during the first wave.
