Local COVID-19 Report for August 5th – Probables -1, Active -1, Tested +309
Here are today’s Clinton County COVID-19 case updates.
We’ve received many questions and concerns regarding past or upcoming large gatherings. First and foremost, the BEST thing residents can do is avoid large gatherings. CCHD does not recommend large gatherings with people outside your household. NYS currently restricts gathering sizes to 50 people or less in our region.
If you are concerned about the safety of a large event being held in the community, ask to see their safety plan. This may aid in your decision to attend.
If you are concerned about a large gathering at a private residence, here are a few questions to ask yourself before attending:
– Will it be outdoors or indoors? Outdoor space is better ventilated and typically allows for physical distance (at least 6 feet) to be maintained.
– How many people will be there? Remember, the current gathering size is limited to 50 or fewer people.
– Do I trust that the others attending have been following the guidelines as I have been?
– Will I be spending a lot of time talking with other people?
– Will others attending be wearing masks when physical distance (of at least 6 feet) cannot be maintained?
If you are concerned about an upcoming gathering that does not meet the current guidance, contact local law enforcement or 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.
