The Cooperstown Center for Rehabilitation and Nursing is closed to visitors for 14 days due to an employee testing positive for COVID.

Due to the Delta variant of COVID, cases are on the rise throughout the country. As of Thursday, July 29, there are 26 active cases in Otsego County with a 1.5% seven day average, according to the Otsego County Department of Mental Health.

The Otsego County Department of Health encourages anyone who has not been vaccinated to get the vaccine as the Delta variant affects the unvaccinated the most adversely.
