Coronavirus (COVID-19)

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
COUNTY DOH TRACKING COVID-19 OUTBREAK
The Columbia County Department of Health is in the process of coronavirus testing and engaged in contact tracing following 10 migrant workers in the county testing positive on Thursday, Director Jack Mabb said Friday.
The 10 workers who have tested positive are currently confined to mandatory quarantine. Another 10 individuals are confined to mandatory quarantine because of their contact with those who tested positive.
The workers are confined to one fruit farm in the Hudson area. They reside in a single home used by workers who do not live on the farm itself.
The farm does not operate a market or otherwise interact with the public.
Director Mabb said that the DOH tested 51 workers on Thursday. The department is in the process of testing the remaining workers today, which will bring the total tested over the two days to approximately 90.
“There is no indication that this outbreak presents a danger to the public at large. The Department of Health’s contact tracing efforts are showing us that the workers’ movements have been confined to the farm and the residence,” said Director Mabb.

For Immediate Release

GOLF OUTINGS TIED TO OUTBREAK

On Monday, Columbia County Department of Health Director Jack Mabb announced that currently 15 confirmed cases of COVID-19 in the county can be traced to two July golf outings.

The golf outings in question were held July 10-11 and July 24. Neither was an organized tournament event and neither golf course was located in Columbia County. To date, the widespread outbreak has affected four retail outlets and the DOH also reports that there are positive cases in two private daycare settings within the county.

It is emphasized by Director Mabb that anyone who was there, or has had contact with any of the confirmed positive cases, would have been contacted by the county Department of Health by now through the contact tracing program and advised if quarantine measures needed to be implemented. As of Tuesday morning, many of the 102 people currently under mandatory quarantine in the county are connected to the golf outing outbreak.

The 15 confirmed cases did not necessarily result from playing golf together, but more likely from not wearing face masks and not observing proper social distancing, said Director Mabb.

“In the world of COVID-19, golf, as a game played outdoors, places you at very low risk of contracting the virus. The likely spread of the virus in this case came from people not wearing a mask and not social distancing when done playing. This outbreak is the likely result of a group of friends getting together and not doing what they should have done when off the course,” he added.

Director Mabb further noted that social media rumors that there are 14 confirmed positive cases of the virus at a local retail store are “untrue as far as we know at this time. There is one confirmed case, although as its employees get tested, there may wind up being more. Those who are concerned about shopping in the store should feel safe to continue, provided they wear a mask and social distance when in the store. People should not necessarily trust what they read on social media.”

For further clarity of the information we share please see below:

The data we share pertains to individuals who have positive cases of COVID-19 confirmed by test results (aside from the suspected, not tested). 

The information we get comes from an NYSDOH database that distributes test results for residents to counties based on their address provided at time of testing. This means that results of Columbia County residents who get tested outside of the county and other county residents who get tested here all reach the Department of Health of their home county through the NYSDOH database. 

Additionally, those deemed “recovered” are residents who have tested positive, have endured their required isolation and are well enough to end their isolation.

PINE HAVEN REPORTS SIX NEW POSITIVE FOR COVID-19

Columbia County Department of Health Director Jack Mabb said Sunday that since Saturday, six additional residents of the Pine Haven Nursing Home & Rehabilitation Center in Philmont had tested positive for COVID-19.

The six new positives bring to 17 the number of Pine Haven residents that have tested positive for the virus, which now affects all three wings at the facility. Two of its residents have succumbed to the disease over the past week, Mabb said.

“Pine Haven is being diligent in isolating patients in the facility,” Mabb said, “and staff is being confined to working in one area, rather than moving between wings.”

“The state Department of Health has been notified. Locally, the county DoH continues to closely monitor the situation at Pine Haven,” he said.

This is a stressful time for all of us. Everyone reacts to stress differently and it’s important to take care of ourselves and each other as best we can. You can connect to your friends and family without putting our health at risk. Use virtual platforms to your advantage and take care of your mental and emotional health. https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/daily-life-coping/managing-stress-anxiety.html

As of 3:30 pm, March 31, 2020, Columbia County has 41 positive cases of COVID-19. Six of the positive cases are hospitalized, four of those are in the ICU. We have received 371 test results completed for Columbia County residents. There are 68 under mandatory quarantine and 18 under precautionary quarantine. There are 9 residents with suspected, not tested cases.

It may be confusing to compare the numbers we report here to the numbers reported by NYSDOH and other news platforms. We suspect the discrepancy comes from dual homeownership. While we get results on people who report having addresses in Columbia County, there may be people with more than one address and the state attributes their results to their other address (likely downstate). The numbers we report are the cases we are monitoring and the homes we visit to ensure compliance with Isolation & Quarantine. We continue to monitor our numbers closely and make it a priority to report information as accurately as possible to our residents.   

Regardless of who gets tested, where a person is from, essential or non-essential work, it is important now more than ever to STAY HOME. We recommend staying 6ft away from everyone but that still leaves a risk of surface transfer. Touching countertops, doorknobs, shopping carts, etc. allow the transfer of the virus. Keep your hands clean, don’t touch your face, use virtual platforms to socialize. STAY HOME.

For Immediate Release

The Columbia County Department of Health is actively monitoring for potential cases of the Novel Coronavirus and is taking precautions to limit the impact if the virus is found in Columbia County. Screening protocols are in place and guidance has been established for both health care providers and the general public. Although we are still learning about this new virus the prevention and mitigation principles for this virus are similar to those for the flu. Principles such as:

• Good hygiene including frequent handwashing with soap and water
• Coughing or sneezing into your elbow and NOT your hand
• Keeping a 6 foot distance from others who have been exposed to the virus
• Implementing social distancing such as canceling or limiting large gatherings
• If you have symptoms of fever, chills, cough, and shortness of breath, stay home, eliminate close contact with others, and advise your medical provider

Currently more people have been infected with the flu, and have died from the flu than the Coronavirus. Since a key factor with the Coronavirus is a travel history to China within the last 14 days, the risk factor for the virus impacting Columbia County is low. If you, or someone you have been in close contact with, has traveled from Wuhan City, Hubei Province, or mainland China within the past 14 days, please contact the Columbia County Department of Health.

Additional guidance can be found at the following Center for Disease Control link. https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-nCoV/hcp/clinical-criteria.html
