COVID-19: Plante puts civil authorities on alert
The mayor held a presser Tuesday morning to announce that the city’s civil authorities are now on alert even though we’ve had few cases of COVID-19 so far.
Twenty people were seen and tested on the first day of the Hotel-Dieu’s coronavirus clinic Monday.
The Canadiens are keeping visitors out of the dressing room, and Evenko promises to ramp up cleanliness at the Bell Centre, but hockey games are expected to go on normally.
Travel agents (they still exist) are feeling the chill, and a Montreal MP who went to a political event in the U.S. where a confirmed coronavirus case was present has gone into voluntary self‑quarantine.

I’ve been taking the 55 south to work. Will definitely feel a chill as a pass by Hotel-Dieu…a bit too close for comfort!

I sort of know what you mean, Meezly. I had to pass by the JGH on Cote-de-Neiges to get to a library on Sunday…I walked on my way there, but decided to hop on one of the buses the way back. The combination of passing by a major hospital and the air on the bus being so stuffy and worries about this virus made me get off after just one stop.
