COVID-19 updates March 12:: Quebec starts shutting down to slow spread of coronavirus
Quebec medical specialists want the province to quickly put in place "a global plan for isolating travelers and limiting travel and public gatherings" to avoid the type of catastrophic spread of COVID-19 seen in Italy.
- Canada should “seriously consider” closing the U.S. border.
- Any Quebecer returning from travels to any other country should self-isolate for 14 days. That is mandatory for those working in the health and education sectors. Public sector workers who self-isolate will be paid. He urged private employers to be understanding.
- Quebec will announce a compensation package for the private sector in the coming days.
- Organizers of any indoor event with more than 250 people should cancel.
- Workers who can work from home should do so.
- Quebecers should be particularly careful with seniors. If you have symptoms comparable to the flu, don’t go visit seniors, he said: “It’s important, they are the most at risk.”
- Schools will not be closed for the time being.
- If the Montreal Canadiens continue to play games, they will have to do so before an empty Bell Centre. The Habs are scheduled to play the Buffalo Sabres tonight.
