+115 Additional Covid Positives Over the Weekend
Since our 9/17 update, 115 additional lab-confirmed COVID-19 positive cases have been reported.
Due to a significant uptick in school-related cases, CCHD will begin issuing quarantine orders for students, faculty, and staff involved directly through the schools. This means you will no longer need to wait for a call from the NYS contact tracers – your orders will be issued with your communication from the school itself. This process with eliminate the waiting period between school notification and state health department notification. This change will go into effect this week – please be patient with your school and CCHD as we navigate this new process.
