Three new active COVID cases in county

In his weekly report Mayor and County Legislator Paul Maroun said that four positive cases of people with COVID-19 continue in Tupper Lake.

County-wide there are three new active cases and about 80 people in quarantine.

In Tupper Lake there are about six people in active quarantine, some as a result of trips they have taken out of state- and particularly to any of the hot spots in the southern U.S.- and have returned. Upon return to any airport in New York State, he says, they must fill out information about where they are staying and give a telephone number where they can be reached. That information goes to Albany and then forwarded to the local county health department. People who have visited hot spots around the county are required to quarantine here for a mandatory 14 days, according to Mr. Maroun.
