COVID-19 Update

The report for today from the Columbia County Department of Health:
As of 2 pm, March 27, 2020, Columbia County has 26 positive cases of COVID-19. We have received 291 test results completed for Columbia County residents. There are 100 under mandatory quarantine and 36 under precautionary quarantine. There are 11 residents with suspected, not tested cases.
Today Governor Cuomo announced all New York State schools will be closed until April 15th at which point the matter will be reevaluated. It is important now more than ever to stay vigilant and STAY HOME. If you do have to go out, don't touch common surfaces (credit card reader, doors, countertops, shopping carts). Wash you hands for 20 seconds. Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue or your elbow.
Twenty-six positive cases is two more than yesterday.

  1. Currently, 0.0046% of the Columbia County population has been tested. Can we get to 1% soon? That would be a milestone.
