There are currently 632 active cases.&nbsp;Please note that this data does not include self-reported positive at-home tests.<\/p>\n<p>Data is a snapshot of what is reported to the health department via different venues. Vaccination status is self-reported by the positive case or the parent \/ guardian during the case investigation. Tioga County is not always notified when a death occurs. Deaths related to COVID 19 are reported to the health department in different ways.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The department wrote, in a release, \u201cVarious factors may impact the severity of one\u2019s COVID-19 illness including underlying health conditions and vaccination status. The COVID-19 vaccine offers protection against severe illness and hospitalization. We encourage eligible individuals to get vaccinated.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The New York State Department of Health has updated their isolation and quarantine process. Virtual case&nbsp;investigators will begin prioritizing the order in which positives cases are called. There continues to be a&nbsp;backlog of cases across New York State, according to Tioga County\u2019s Department of Health.<\/p>\n<p>They wrote, in their weekly brief, \u201cPlease be patient while you wait for someone to contact you. If you&nbsp;need paperwork for an isolation or quarantine, fillable orders will be available on the New York State&nbsp;Department of Health website at <a href=\"https:\/\/coronavirus.health.ny.gov\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/coronavirus.health.ny.gov\/<\/a>.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Last week New York State released \u201cUpdated Isolation and Quarantine Guidance\u201d. Tioga County Public Health is&nbsp;now following this guidance and they continue to get many questions regarding these changes. The following is information that shows how these changes impact isolation and quarantine:&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>If you test positive for COVID-19, regardless of your vaccination status, you are required to: <\/b>stay home for five days (from symptom onset or test date); if you have no symptoms or symptoms are improving after five days, you can leave your house but you&nbsp;must wear a mask around others for five additional days; if you are moderately \/ severely immunocompromised or if symptoms have not resolved, continue to isolate until day 10; if you have a fever, stay home until the fever resolves.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>If you are exposed to someone who has tested positive for COVID-19 <\/b>and have gotten your booster shot, completed the primary series of Moderna or Pfizer vaccine within the&nbsp;last six months, or completed the primary series of J&amp;J vaccine within the last two months you do not need to&nbsp;quarantine. Wear a mask around others for 10 days and test on day five if possible. If you develop symptoms, the health department is asking you to get a test and stay home.<\/p>\n<p><b>If you are exposed to someone who has tested positive for COVID-19 and have<\/b> <b>not been vaccinated, <\/b>or you completed the primary series of Moderna or Pfizer vaccine six or&nbsp;more months ago or completed the primary series of J&amp;J vaccine over two months ago and are not boosted, you need to quarantine for five days. Continue to wear a mask around others for five additional days and test on&nbsp;day five if possible. If you develop symptoms, the health department is asking you to get a test and stay home.<\/p>\n<p>Individuals who are unable to wear a well-fitting mask for five days after a five-day isolation or quarantine&nbsp;should continue to stay home until day 10. If symptoms develop at any time, the health department is recommending you stay home and contact&nbsp;your healthcare provider.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p>If you have a pending test, stay home while you are waiting for your test results. Those who test positive for COVID-19 are responsible for notifying anyone they have come into close&nbsp;contact with.
