Local COVID-19 for July 16th – Lab-confirmed positive +1, Active +2, Recovered -1, Tested +215
CCHD – Many of our residents have noticed non-compliance with mask or physical distancing requirements within our community. First and foremost, the BEST thing residents can do is consistently practice and model these behaviors themselves. Wear a mask when in public, keep physical distance of at least 6 feet from those outside your household, and wash your hands frequently.
If you are in a business or other public entity and see patrons or employees who are not following these behaviors, report your concerns to a manager or other staff member when you notice it. If no noticeable changes are made or you observe repeated offenses within the same establishment, file a “New York State on PAUSE” violation by visiting https://coronavirus.health.ny.gov/new-york-state-pause or calling 1-833-789-0470. Please be as specific as possible and include your contact information so additional questions can be directed when necessary. Anonymous complaints are often difficult to follow up on because they don’t contain enough information.
Note: The lab-confirmed positive recovered number was reported incorrectly on 7/14/20 and corrected in today’s (7/15/20) numbers. This individual has not yet been released from isolation.
