PRESS RELEASE<\/p>\n\n\n\n
May 20, 2020 @ 2:00 p.m.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Chairman of the Wyoming County Board of Supervisors, Jerry L. Davis, reports:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
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\u2019s company. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
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. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
These places should be closed and events should continue to be postponed or cancelled until the threat of COVID-19 has subsided.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As of earlier today, Wednesday, May 20, the Wyoming County Health Department continues to reports seventy-six(76) lab-confirmed positive cases of COVID-19 among Wyoming County residents. There is no increase from Tuesday, May 19.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
