IT'S HERE!
1st Otsego Case Surfaced; 35 Quarantined
By ELIZABETH COOPER • Special to www.AllOTSEGO.com
There is still only one positive case of the COVID-19 virus in Otsego County.
But don’t let your guard down, because that number doesn’t tell the whole story.
With confirmed cases skyrocketing above 25,000 in the state and testing supplies dwindling, there may be many here who have the virus but remain unidentified.
In Otsego County alone, there are 35 people on quarantine - either awaiting test results or who have had close contact with someone who has a confirmed case - according to county Health Department figures. And that doesn’t include the many others Bassett Healthcare Network practitioners may have recommended self-quarantine to patients with symptoms.
People are jittery.
