No new positive cases for COVID-19 in Genesee County

By Howard B. Owens

Press release:

  • Genesee County received zero new positive cases of COVID-19, for a total of 201 positive cases.
    • The individual that was reported to have been at the March for Justice tested positive earlier in the week. (See note below.) 
    • Zero of the previous community positive cases have recovered and have been released from mandatory isolation.
    • Zero of the total active positive cases are hospitalized.
  • Orleans County received zero new positive cases of COVID-19, for a total of 246 positive cases.
    • One of the previous community positive cases have recovered and have been released from mandatory isolation.
    • Fifteen of the total active positive cases are hospitalized. Please note those in the hospital may be from the community or a state-regulated facility. We do not separate them out to protect their privacy.

NOTE: Regarding the seeming contradiction between no-new cases and the person at the march, a spokeswoman for Public Health said, "Because the positive case was counted earlier this week and through an interview with the case we found out about the attendance at the March."
