class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Non-county Public Regulated Facilities<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u00b7 Due to the increased number of positive cases at specific regulated facilities, the G-O Health Departments have added a new chart to show the number of positive cases of COVID-19 for non-county public regulated facilities whose regulatory oversight does not fall within the local health departments. The numbers are part of the cumulative positive case numbers received since the first positive. As of today, in Orleans County the number of positive cases of COVID-19 at The Villages of Orleans has surpassed the number of community cases at 52%. These facilities are regulated by the state or federal government agencies and those who live within those facilities are overseen by those respective agencies. The local health departments will oversee any employees or community contacts (who reside within our counties) who had close contact with those who tested positive or who have become symptomatic. \u00b7 This chart will be updated to reflect any public regulated facilities if and when confirmed COVID-19 cases are identified. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u00b7 Remember even though the numbers may be high at a specific location, the virus is still moving though our counties. People need to continue frequent handwashing and sanitizing shared surfaces, practicing stay safe at home, social distancing and wearing cloth masks when out in public. This is not the time for gathering at the grocery stores, take out lines or play dates. This is the time to be kind and think of the health and well-being of others. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u00b7 The NYS Health Department will partner with the State\u2019s Attorney General to investigate nursing home violations. A hotline or online form can be submitted where residents, families, or members of the public can share complaints about nursing homes that have not provided required communications with families about COVID-19 diagnoses or fatalities, nursing home abuse and neglect including failure to follow rules to keep residents safe. The hotline number is 833-249-8499 or go to the link for the online form: https:\/\/ag.ny.gov\/nursinghomes<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>OPERATIONAL UPDATES<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Testing<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u00b7 Antibody testing: Preliminary Phase 1 results of the Antibody Testing Study shows 13.9% of the population have COVID-19 antibodies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">o 3,000 random samples were taken at various locations (19 counties and 40 localities) across the state, including at grocery stores and big-box stores where people were openly going out in public. The preliminary results are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u00a7 Long Island made up 14.4% of the total tests and 16.7% had the antibodies<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u00a7 New York City made up 43% of the total tests and 21.2% had the antibodies<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u00a7 Westchester \/ Rockland made up 9.8% of the total test and 11.7% in that region had the antibodies<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u00a7 Rest of the state accounted for 32.8% of the total tests and 3.6% had the antibodies <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">o For FAQs on antibody testing, click below. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/coronavirus.health.ny.gov\/system\/files\/documents\/2020\/04\/updated-13102-nysdoh-wadsworth-centers-assay-for-sars-cov-2-igg.pdf\">https:\/\/coronavirus.health.ny.gov\/system\/files\/documents\/2020\/04\/updated-13102-nysdoh-wadsworth-centers-assay-for-sars-cov-2-igg.pdf<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is unlikely this will be available in our counties. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u00b7 Wearing Masks and Social Distancing is paramount to preventing flare-ups and mini-outbreaks. Everyone needs to be compliant. Correctly wearing cloth masks is part of a multi-prong approach to stop\/slow the spread of COVID-19. We know wearing a face covering is inconvenient and uncomfortable, but it can limit transmission of respiratory germs. The mask traps the droplets before they spread into the environment. Remember wearing a face covering helps to protect others from your potential germs. \u2018My mask protects you, and your mask protects me!\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"> o The Health Department encourages stores and businesses to set guidelines that include not allowing patrons to enter if they are not wearing a face covering or wearing it correctly (covering the mouth &amp; nose). Make sure proper signage noting your policy is visible to patrons. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">o As\/When the state starts open up we all have to be diligent for quite some time to prevent the spread of this virus. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u00a7 Continue frequent handwashing \/ hand sanitizing if soap and water are not available. \u00a7 Continue frequent sanitizing \/ cleaning of shared surfaces. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u00a7 Continue Social Distancing \u2013 staying 6\u2019 away from others. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u00a7 Continue Wearing face coverings \u2013 wearing face coverings correctly when out in public. The mouth and nose are to be covered and the face covering should be tucked under the chin. Wearing masks is a way of strengthening social distancing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u00a7 Stay HOME if you are sick! Do not go shopping, Do not go to work, Do not go visiting! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u00b7 There is still no cure or vaccination available for COVID-19. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Be alert to scams or home remedies. Contact your primary care provider if you have any symptoms and follow his\/her instructions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u00b7 There is still limited swabbing available in Genesee and Orleans Counties. If you are experiencing symptoms, contact your primary care provider and they will determine if testing is right for you. If the counties receive an increase in swabbing supplies and the protocol for testing is changed, we will notify the public.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Mental Health<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u00b7 Everyone reacts differently to stressful situations and having to socially distance yourself from someone you love can be difficult.
