At the January Town Board Meeting the attached Health Officer Update was presented.
Upstate New York, and more specifically the southern tier, has the dubious distinction of having one of the highest rates of COVID infection in the United States. In fact Steuben County reports 217 new cases of COVID and seven deaths just since New Years. The greatest spike in positive cases has occurred since November. 42 cases have been identified as residents in the Town of Wayne. (Check out the Case Map on the Steuben County Website.)
Free COVID testing is available at several sites around the county, the closest being in Bath, on Morris Street across the street from TOPS. To set up an appointment for a free test call 1-800-952-2662. This is not a blood test and no needle stick is involved, it’s just a Q-tip swab in your nose. Quick, easy, and painless. You don’t even get out of your car!
The vaccine is out there, but it is being distributed in phases throughout New York State in order of several risk factors. After entering my personal data (retired, no medical risk factors, and over 65 years) I fall into the Phase 2 group and was notified that:
• There are an estimated 3,448,196 people in front of you in New York State. That includes high risk workers in health care facilities, first responders, people with significant health problems and nursing home residents. In total, about 18% of the state population will probably get the vaccine before you.
• There are an estimated 7,125,701 people in the Phase 2 group.
• Locally, in Steuben County, New York, There are an estimated 16,316 people in front of you to get the vaccine, and 42,446 people in your group.
For questions about how the vaccines work and possible side effects, talk to your doctor, or go to a reputable web site like the Mayo Clinic site. (search: Mayo Clinic Covid Vaccine Facts)
COVID infection is still rampant. Don’t let your guard down. Don’t assume you don’t have it and won’t get it. Don’t pass it to others.
You know the drill:
Stay home as much as possible
Stay away from large groups of people
Distance yourself from other people
Wear a mask
Wash your hands.
Get the vaccine as soon as it is available
Town of Barrington Rabies Incident
Please be advised that two weeks ago three people were bitten by a rabid fox on the 900 block of East Lake Road in the Town of Barrington. The fox was caught and disposed of. I thought it was important for the board to know and be aware of the situation, and to remind people of the Town of Wayne that the town is an active Rabies area. Please be sure to vaccinate your pets, both cats and dogs, and keep those rabies vaccines up to date. If you see an animal acting unusual, or a wild animal approaching people, stay away from it and call 911 immediately.
