History
3
To prevent cholera from spreading to the general population, a military detachment hurriedly set up quarantine facilities on Grosse Île. Temporary wooden buildings were constructed, including at first a 40-patient hospital and two nearby structures, one for healthy individuals with a capacity of 300 and the other for observing suspicious cases. A simple fence separated the sick from those under observation. Today, no visible trace of these buildings remains.
