Chenango County Announces COVID Masking Mandate
New York State is recording over 44,000 new cases of COVID-19 each day for August 11 & 12 while infection numbers locally also continue to grow, mainly attributed to the more contagious Delta variant of the coronavirus.
Chenango County says due to the increase spread of the coronavirus, the County is requiring face masks be worn in all county buildings and offices starting August 16, no matter the vaccination status of workers and members of the public.
The Health Department’s statement goes on to say “It is recommended that Chenango County businesses, organizations and schools immediately implement a face mask requirement for their vaccinated and unvaccinated employees, patrons and students.”
