The Public Health Department (CISSS) in Outaouais Region is looking on the bright side.
Although the number of reported cases of COVID-19 has increased from 18 Friday to the 38 now being reported (being reported as at Monday), those numbers are proportionately lower than other regions in Quebec.
CISSS says the current situation is not one of extended community transmission, and it is still able to determine the source of contamination in each of the reported cases.
Unfortunately there are now five staff members at CISSS who are now infected with the virus.
These staff members are currently in isolation and their contacts are in administrative segregation to minimize any potential spread.
The Health Depatment says you should continue to stay confined except for essential travel.
For anyone who has symptoms or concenrs about Covid-19, you can contact the dedicated information line at 819-644-4545.
