County up to 35 confirmed COVID-19 cases
Clinton County Health Department April 6th Report
Plattsburgh, April 6, 2020. The New York State Department of Health has updated its statewide tracking for COVID-19. Starting today, the Clinton County Health Department (CCHD), as part of the County’s Unified COVID-19 Response, will report local stats related to COVID-19 in the same format as the State’s COVID-19 Tracker.
The NYSDOH COVID-19 Tracker now provides updated stats for the number of persons tested, number of persons tested positive, percent of positive results, number of persons tested today and number of new positives today for every county in New York State. The tracker can be accessed on the State’s website https://coronavirus.health.ny.gov/home (look for the COVID-19 Tracker VIEW box near the bottom of the web-page).
The reformatted, interactive tracker makes it easy for health professionals and residents alike to view a county-by-county breakdown of testing and positive cases around New York State.
When appropriate, CCHD will continue to report other significant information related to COVID-19 in Clinton County and from around the region, considering residents of Essex or Franklin Counties, or visitors to our area may also be receiving care in our county. The consistency in number reporting the tracker provides will prevent confusion in statistics reported.
Ms. Erin Streiff, Director of Health Care Services noted, “We want residents to have numbers that are consistent with those being reported by the NYSDOH and numbers that they can compare day-to-day. As of this morning, Clinton County has 35 laboratory confirmed cases of COVID-19, 9 laboratory confirmed recovered and 0 deaths.”
