— 85 individuals in Mandatory Isolation, which includes individuals who are symptomatic of COVID-19 and are pending COVID-19 lab test.

County officials issued this reminder as well: “Testing supplies and PPE (used when doing a test and treating infected patients) continue to be in low supply across the state and especially in rural areas where population density is low. At this time, tests MUST BE prioritized for hospitalized patients, ill healthcare workers, and those who have underlying health conditions. Currently there are three locations in Chautauqua County where outpatient testing is performed: UPMC’s Jones Hill Center; The Chautauqua Center in Jamestown and Dunkirk. Testing is not done without a healthcare provider’s order.

“Federal and state officials are now recommending the wearing of homemade masks or scarves by the general public. This act will protect the public from your respiratory droplets. It is now estimated that 30% of those infected with coronavirus don’t know they are infected. This is one more step to try and decrease the spread of coronavirus. Surgical masks and N-95 respirators are for healthcare workers only.”
