Facilities will be added when and if there is a positive case of COVID-19. If a regulated facility from either of our counties is not listed, there are no positive cases of COVID-19 as of the release of this briefing. The local health departments do not have oversight with many regulated facilities, which may include nursing homes, correctional facilities, hospitals, etc.) <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Un-PAUSING does not mean business or life as usual!<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\nBe advised the more socialization that occurs the higher risk of transmitting the virus, especially to those who are most vulnerable. It is imperitive we still restrict social\/family gatherings until we are certain to have this under control and\/or there is a vaccine. It is expected we will see an uptick of positive cases and mandatory quarantines as social interaction increases. If cases increase, it shows us people may be ignoring the orders to not have gatherings of 10 or more people, not social distancing and\/or not wearing face coverings properly. This can also impact our ability to continue the re-opening phases. We ask that you respect the guidance and continue to social distance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
New York State on PAUSE<\/strong>: <\/p>\n\n\n\nTo assist local authorities with enforcement of these orders, the Governor established the New York State PAUSE Enforcement Assistance Task Force where individuals can file complaints regarding the operation of non-essential businesses or gatherings 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. https:\/\/mylicense.custhelp.com\/app\/ask to file a complaint online. You may also call 1-833-789-0470. Businesses that are not in compliance with the Governor\u2019s executive order may be penalized. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00b7 Re-Opening Guidance: The State has provided a template for all businesses to help develop their written Safety Plan to help prevent the spread of COVID-19. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
This plan does not need to be submitted to a state-agency for approval, however it must be retained on the premises of the business and must be made available to the New York State Department of Health (DOH) or local health or safety authorities in the event of an inspection. Be 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. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
