Eleven employees and thirteen residents are considered positive.

Five people are hospitalized. In addition to the employee who remained positive, four of the affected residents are currently hospitalized in the region. The other residents and the members of the personnel who have been in contact with the person are in segregation at their home , specifies Chantal Duguay, president and chief executive officer of the Integrated Center for Health and Social Services (CISSS) .

According to a new protocol, when a person has had close contact with an affected person and has symptoms, they are now considered to be contaminated.

The number of people affected in the Gaspé and the Islands jumped to 37 infected people .

Since it is a residence for the elderly, the authorities are on high alert.

The CISSS Integrated Health and Social Services Center indicates that the employee who tested positive was transferred to a Quebec hospital, but refuses to say more about his state of health.

The employee did not return from abroad, but from another region of Quebec.

According to Chantal Duguay, it was not during the period when certain regions of Quebec were established as high risk.

When it happened, there was no indication for the Eastern Townships and Montreal , she said.

She says it was when people were asked if they were coming from a trip outside the country.

There was a period between two and it was during this period that this person went to Quebec, when it was not identified as high risk, explains the CEO. She returned from the region and returned to work. And after two days, she had symptoms. She retired at that time.
