Aside from the nursing homes, things seem fairly stable in most of Columbia County. The notable exceptions are Kinderhook, where the number of cases almost doubled in the past week, going from 12 to 22, and in Hudson, where the number of cases went from 20 to 26.

Stay home. Wash your hands often. If you must to go out, wear a mask and keep your distance from others.
