Here's what the pattern of new positive cases so far during the month of May looks like. The spikes on May 5 and 6 are cases of the virus discovered at Barnwell.
And zero cases at Whittier is not "accidental.
ReplyDeleteAnyone interested in having a COVID-19 antibody test can obtain one at the urgent care center, WellNow, an adjunct of St. Peter’s Health in the Widewaters shopping center on Fairview opposite the Verizon Store. Unlike the tests for active COVID, there is now requirement for either a referral or appointment. There is a fee which is covered by insurance. https://wellnow.com/locations/hudson/?utm_source=yext&utm_medium=lociqyext&utm_campaign=Hudson,NY%7C5116
