The recovered numbers are only for community cases and do not include non-county regulated facilities. The total positive cases includes community active\/positive, community recovered and all those from non-county regulated facilities. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Business Reminder<\/strong>: It is important to periodically review your Business Safety Plan that was developed earlier on in the pandemic. As part of the plan businesses were encouraged to develop contact sheets for all patrons to assist with contact tracing in the event of a potential COVID-19 exposure. This will help in investigations and will limit the necessity of press releases which will help limit potential spread. COVID-19 101 Reminders: If a person is identified as a contact, they will be notified by the County Health Department, quarantined and if warranted, swabbed if indicated. Limited information is provided to the public in compliance with HIPAA regulations and out of the respect of those impacted by this virus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u00b7 When, and if, there is a situation where potential contact is made in a public location where contact tracing doesn\u2019t have actual names of close contacts, we will send out a media announcement to help seek contacts. \u00b7 If you are experiencing ANY COVID-19 related symptoms STAY HOME! Do not go to work, do not go to the store, do not go anywhere, YOU are spreading the virus. STAY HOME! \u00b7 We encourage everyone to remember to be polite and respect individual privacy. If you have a complaint about someone or a business use the appropriate channels provided by the state. Using social media to air your complaints and accusing individuals \/ businesses of wrong doing generally does nothing to fix the problem. Be compassionate of other people and spread kindness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Testing<\/strong>: FYI: Due to increased COVID-19 cases and testing demand in the region, the MCC drive-in testing site will be expanding to 7-days and expanding Saturday and Sunday hours to 8am-3pm (starting this weekend).

Faith-based Organizations: 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. 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. 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","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" New Positives \u2013 As of 2:00 p.m. November 24, 2020 o Genesee County received 64 new positive cases of COVID-19 for a total of 793. \u00a7 The new positive cases reside in Alabama, Alexander, Batavia, Bergen, Bethany, Byron, Darien, Elba, LeRoy, Oakfield, Pavilion, Pembroke, and Stafford. \u00a7 The individuals are \u2026<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/videonewsservice.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/11-24-Copy.jpg?resize=656%2C870&ssl=1\")

\uf0d8 If you are being tested for COVID-19 it is important that you self-quarantine until you get your test results whether you have symptoms or not. If you are symptomatic, meaning you are coughing, have
a fever or other symptoms, self-quarantine even if you are an essential worker until you get your results back, if you have COVID-19 you may be spreading it! That means to stay home and limit contact with other people, even in your household.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
