Finger Lakes Region to Re-open<\/strong> New York\u2019s first phase beginning, Friday, May 15, 2020. If you have questions about New York Forward and Business Re-opening use the following e-mail: https:\/\/esd.ny.gov\/nyforward-faq. <\/p>\n\n\n\nBe advised the local health departments are NOT the gatekeepers in these next steps. We are NOT reviewing \/approving plans and we don\u2019t have the ability to make decisions on who is \/ who isn\u2019t a part of the first phase nor have we been provided with guidance on interpreting who is and who isn\u2019t included. We have included several links to assist with planning and contact information for your reference on how to re-open for those slated to in Phase One. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
o The first phase In order to un-PAUSE safely, we need to continue to be intentional about social distancing, properly wearing face coverings, handwashing\/sanitizing and limiting time in public. https:\/\/orleanscountyny.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/050620-Reopening-Guidance-and-Fact-Sheet-GO-Health-1.pdf for a re-opening guidance and fact sheet in response to COVID-19 developed by the Genesee and Orleans County Health Departments. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

o Phased Plan to Re-open New York: https:\/\/www.governor.ny.gov\/programs\/new-york-forward o Business Safety Precautions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00a7 Each business and industry must have a plan to protect employees and consumers, make the physical work space safer and implement processes that lower risk of infection in the business. In developing these plans, businesses will need to consider three main factors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00a7 The first factor is protections for employees and customers. These include possible adjustments to workplace hours and shift design as necessary to reduce density in the workplace; enacting social distancing protocols, and restricting non-essential travel for employees. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00a7 The second is changes to the physical workspace, including requiring all employees and customers to wear masks if in frequent close contact with others and implementing strict cleaning and sanitation standards. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00a7 The last factor for businesses to consider is implementing processes that meet our changing public health obligations, like screening individuals when they enter the workplace, or reporting confirmed positives to customers. While these processes will vary from business to business, almost everyone will have to adapt, in some way or another, to our new normal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00b7 ROC COVID-19 Health Screener<\/strong>: This symptom tracker for the Greater Rochester region is a scientific study collected aggregate data by zip code to track hot spots of COVID-19. The data will potentially show how the virus may be spreading, identify areas that may be at risk and determine how our efforts are working to slow the spread. You can participate by taking the daily survey whether you are having symptoms or are feeling healthy. It just takes a few seconds. <\/p>\n\n\n\nTo learn more go to: https:\/\/www.roccovid.org\/index.html \u00b7 New York State is seeking contact tracers. If you are interested in this position, https:\/\/coronavirus.health.ny.gov\/get-involved-how-you-can-help to apply to be a part of the NYS Contact Tracing team. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is a moment of crisis and New York needs our help as soon as possible. \u00b7 The Nursing Home hotline number is 833-249-8499 or for the online form: https:\/\/ag.ny.gov\/nursinghomes<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00b7 Swabbing and antibody testing<\/strong> is becoming increasingly available in the WNY region. 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\nThe Health Departments are not providing public swabbing due to lack of supplies. For more information on testing https:\/\/coronavirus.health.ny.gov\/covid-19-testing . <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00b7 There is still no cure or vaccination available for COVID-19. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
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
Mental Health<\/strong> \u00b7 Everyone reacts differently to stressful situations and having to socially distance yourself from someone you love can be difficult. Below are resources that can help you connect to a professional that can help you through these challenging times: <\/p>\n\n\n\no Care + Crisis Helpline is available 24\/7 at 585-283-5200 or text \u2018Talk\u2019 to 741741 <\/p>\n\n\n\n
o New Yorkers can call the COVID-19 Emotional Support Hotline at 1-844-863-9314 for mental health counseling <\/p>\n\n\n\n
o Health care workers can text NYFRONTLINE to 741741 to access 24\/7 emotional support services <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Domestic Violence<\/strong> \u00b7 For New Yorkers in need of help or assistance, they can text 844-997-2121 or can go to the new confidential online site to reach a professional at www.opdv.ny.gov The new text program and confidential online service will make it easier for victims who are isolated with their abusers to get help.
