A 14-day isolation period is imposed on MRC employees returning from a foreign trip. Until further notice, MRC Regional Council will be closed to the public.

According to the MRC, the situation will be re-evaluated on a daily basis as new information becomes available.

As Warden Jane Toller mentioned in her statement to the people of Pontiac on March 13th, these difficult times are first and foremost an opportunity to express the collective solidarity of the MRC.

Residents are encouraged to continue to follow the hygiene and precautionary practices established by the Province and the World Health Organization.
