COOPERSTOWN – COVID-19 is still coming at us.

A few minutes ago, county Public Health Director Heidi Bond reported two more coronavirus deaths, in addition to the one reported yesterday.  The in-county total is 20 since the pandemic threat arose last March.

Yesterday, there were 129 active cases in the county; today, 145.

Today, 25 new cases were reported.  With 27 new cases reported yesterday, the total new cases for the last two days is 52.

Hospitalizations, however, saw a decline from 19 to 16 in two days, two as a result of the latest deaths.  Both were females over the age of 55.

Bond urged people to wear masks, exercise social distancing and wash their hands.
