The best thing you can do right now is stay home when sick. We are still in the midst of a this pandemic. COVID is still here and the reality is COVID is not done with us and we can&#8217;t pick or choose.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pettit says Genesee and Orleans Counties are considered high transmission areas for COVID-19 under CDC Guidance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The 7 day positivity rate in Genesee County is 8.1%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The 7 day positivity rate in Orleans County is 7.8%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">NYS positivity rate as of 11\/3\/21 2.43%<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pettit advised to get back to the previous practice of social distancing and using a mask when indoors, especially during the holiday season approaching.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;Until we change strategy we will have to persevere and think of others, like wearing a mask, staying home when sick.
