She was informed at the end of the day, Thursday, leading to the suspension of crossings to allow the complete disinfection of the facilities by a specialized external firm.
They were able to resume a little after 10:30 p.m.
According to the STQ, all the crossing employees who had been in close contact with their contaminated colleagues were identified and placed in isolation.
“For the moment, no specific recommendations are made to customers who have used the ferry in the past few days. The two employees in question occupy positions which do not generally require close contact within two meters with the customers, ”indicated the STQ.
