Local Nov. 13th COVID-19 Report: Lab-confirmed positive +6, Recovered +2, Active +4, Currently Active 73, Tested +1,683
Six additional lab-confirmed COVID-19 positive cases have been reported since our 11/12 update. Of the 6 newly reported cases, 4 cases are associated with SUNY Plattsburgh and 2 cases are among other community members. There are currently 73 active COVID-19 cases in Clinton County.
As we have mentioned before, there is not one specific way that people in our community are being exposed to COVID. Cases are not linked to one large gathering or event, but the result of many smaller interactions between individuals. People you know (and care about) can give you COVID. And you can give it to them. Wear a mask and physically distance yourself from others. As many have noted in the comments section of our posts, deaths are not the only consideration or consequence of COVID. Some people have very mild illness and don’t appear to have any long-term health effects, while others experience serious illness and continue to have ongoing health problems. There is no way to know which category you will fall into. YOU can protect yourself and the people you care about by wearing a mask and physically distancing yourself from others.
Note: Our next case updates will be provided on Monday, November 16.
