Chairman of the Wyoming County Board of Supervisors, Jerry L. Davis, reports:
As Memorial Day draws near, there is, unsurprisingly, a significant demand by people right now across New York and our neighboring counties to gather and enjoy each other’s company.
While People should be able to have fun, facilities or events that attract hundreds of people from outside the region pose a significant public health danger as we try to carefully reopen.
These places should be closed and events should continue to be postponed or cancelled until the threat of COVID-19 has subsided.
