We will report future guidance as it is released.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Time-Distance-Masks-Hands!: In order to limit the spread of COVID-19 you need to rethink any upcoming gatherings. The more time you spend with non-household members, the more at risk of spreading the virus and putting our counties in a micro-cluster which will increase restrictions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Even small gatherings have the potential to have an impact on our hospital systems as we are seeing an increase in hospital admissions and ICU admissions. Limit time with non-household members\u2026Keep at least 6 feet or more\u2026Properly wear a mask\/face covering over your nose and, mouth\u2026and Wash your hands frequently with soap and water or 60% alcohol hand sanitizer, as well as sanitizing frequently touched surfaces\/items.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Gathering Size<\/strong>: According to Governor Cuomo\u2019s Executive Order 202.45, all non-essential gatherings of up to 50 individuals of any size for any reason at venues (celebrations, weddings, or other social events at public facilities or private venues) unless otherwise designated (ex. Religious gatherings), are now allowed for those regions in phase 4. So long as appropriate social distancing, wearing cloth masks\/face coverings over their mouth and nose, and cleaning and disinfection protocol requirements are followed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n With the recent uptick of individuals testing positive and the stricter guidance placed by the Governor, it is important to remember that those who plan and host non-essential gatherings (whether at a venue or a private residence) as noted above, can be fined up to $15,000, and\/or cause our counties to be considered a micro-cluster which will place the area under stricter restrictions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Micro-clusters:<\/strong> The initiative will take the most significant action within the cluster (Red Zone), moderate action in the area surrounding the cluster to stop the spread (Orange Zone), and precautionary action in the outlying communities (Yellow Zone). <\/p>\n\n\n\n To learn more about the Cluster Action Initiative go to https:\/\/forward.ny.gov\/ny-forward<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u00b7 Erie County<\/strong> – New Yellow Precautionary Zone – Click Here for Map https:\/\/www.governor.ny.gov\/sites\/governor.ny.gov\/files\/atoms\/files\/ErieZonesOnly_11_9_2020.pdf<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n o Over the past ten days, parts of Erie County have had 7-day average positivity rates above 2.5%, and cases per 100,000 and new daily hospital admissions have increased, meeting the metrics for a yellow zone designation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u00b7 Monroe County<\/strong> – New Yellow Precautionary Zone – Click Here for Map<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/videonewsservice.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/stats.jpg?resize=740%2C316&ssl=1\")
