Several Pontiac municipalities have announced restrictions to the operations of their offices, along with the closures of their municipal libraries to avoid the spread of COVID-19.

Some of which are encouraging their residents to call or write by email, in order to communicate with municipal employees.

The mayor of Fort-Coulonge, Gaston Allard, explained the measures taken by his municipality.

Similar actions are currently being taken in the municipality of L’Isle-aux-Allumettes, as expressed by Mayor Winston Sunstrum.

Municipalities such as L’Ile-du-Grand-Calumet, Campbell’s Bay, Alleyn-et-Cawood and others, in addition to the conditions above, are asking their citizens to ”avoid any unnecessary outings.”
