COOPERSTOWN – Otsego County now has 16 confirmed COVID-19 cases, affecting people ranging from 20 to 75 years of age, county Public Health Director Heidi Bond announced this afternoon.
Last week saw the county’s first confirmed COVID-19 death: Brenda L. Utter, 63, of Morris. Of the rest, one person recovered and was released from isolation, with the remaining 14 still in isolation, Bond said.
“COVID 19 is in our community,” she said. “While DOH staff works to stop the spread by isolating and quarantining known cases and contacts, you need to take personal responsibility to protect yourself and your family.”
