The Capitale-Nationale recorded yet another record toll, this time with 92 new infections, in the last 24 hours. In Chaudière-Appalaches, 19 positive cases of COVID-19 were counted.
The entire Capitale-Nationale region is not placed on ORANGE alert. Nevertheless, the consequences are significant.
Not everyone is happy with the new restrictive measures, but all the same, we are happy not to close completely.
“There are some who were already in a very precarious situation. Autumn is not looking good. It’s going to slow down for sure. People will be even more worried and will avoid coming to Old Quebec. ” : says Jacques-André Pérusse, General Manager of the Old Quebec Business Development Corporation.
Without international tourism and cruises, it was local visitors who saved the summer season for traders in Old Quebec.
“It was already bad, so for us, we are resilient, but at some point there is a limit. I mean, there are definitely going to be closures, hotel reclassifications, restaurants that will never reopen. We don’t see the light at the end of the tunnel until 2023. ” : underlines Alain April, owner of Hôtel Bonne Entente.
Traders still hope that this passage in the orange zone will be short-lived.
Remember that for the Capitale-Nationale, the agglomeration of Quebec, Saint-Augustin-de-Desmaures, L’Ancienne-Lorette, Wendake, the MRC de la Jacques-Cartier, the MRC de la Côte-de-Beaupré and the MRC of Île-d’Orléans found themselves on alert.
