“She didn’t have the right to do that,” she said.
"The last thing we wanted is Mercier to be the epicentre of a second wave—nobody wants that,” said Alex Ganivet Boileau, who owns a microbrewery in town.Locals reported that around nine or 10 Mercier businesses seem to have shut their doors since Monday. “The public health survey…identifies people who have been in contact within two metres for more than 15 minutes during the infectious period” of the original positive cases, said Vallée.People become contagious about 48 hours before the onset of symptoms, she explained.
