A total of 25 people who had significant contact with the affected employee were identified.
Dr. Sylvain Leduc made a point of being reassuring, by recalling that it would have been necessary to be in close contact during 15 minutes with the affected employee to be infected. The risk is therefore low, according to him.
If you have not been contacted, you are not at risk. But if you do experience symptoms, call 1 877 644-4545.
We therefore ask people who attended the market between 1er and on May 16 to watch for symptoms that may have appeared 14 days after they visited the store. These people should be alert and consult when in doubt.
The regional director of public health recalls that these symptoms are mainly fever, cough, fatigue and loss of smell in some cases.
Customers must turn back in front of the closed doors.
