Governor Cuomo added three more states to the COVID-19 Quarantine Travel Advisory

Travelers from Delaware, Kansas, and Oklahoma will need to be self-quarantined for 14 days when they arrive in New York, Governor Andrew M. Cuomo announced Tuesday. Long Island officials have warned of an increase in new cases of coronavirus due to out, state travelers.

Due to Cuomo’s directives, the total number of New York self-quarantine orders has reached 19. The number of cases of coronavirus is increasing in most states in the country, with some countries setting daily records.

Nassau County Secretary of State Laura Curran said on Tuesday that between 15 and 25 percent of the newly identified coronavirus cases in the county were from other states over the past two to three weeks. This includes locals who have traveled to other states and have returned, as well as locals visiting Nassau.

The tendency is “related to us,” she said. “We understand mathematics. We see escalations in so many states in this country. And up to a quarter of new cases in the last couple of weeks are out of state. It is from.

“It’s really a big concern when looking at the map. If you came to Nassau County, we did a really good job of containing the virus and stopping the spread here.” She said. “Welcome if you’re visiting, but if you’re from another state with an increasing number of cases, take the time to isolate and test.”

The Quarantine Order applies to persons arriving from a state with a positive COVID-19 test rate of more than 10 per 100,000 people on a 7-day moving average, or a state with a positive rate of 10% or higher on a 7-day moving rate .. average.

Other states under self-quarantine orders are Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Iowa, Louisiana, Mississippi, Nevada, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Utah.

“The New Yorker did the impossible—the worst infection rate in the United States has gone to the highest,” says Kuomo, and the last thing we need is another thing at COVID-19. To see the spikes.”

“With the expansion of communities across the country, New York is taking steps to ensure the safety of a phased restart. All this pandemic response is numerical and sets indicators for community expansion. As if all indicators were set.”

“Very realistic concerns” in New York

In New York City, members of Mayor Bill de Brascio’s administration said they were worried about introducing the coronavirus by visitors from places where the disease was not controlled.

“Specifically, this is a very real concern for the problem of importing infections,” said Jay Balma, a doctor, epidemiologist, and former city health official who returned to the city’s services and advised on a pandemic response. Said the doctor. “…We have people coming in and out of the city extensively and from all over the United States.”

Data released by the state Tuesday confirmed that 588 of 56,736 people tested in New York Monday were coronavirus-positive at the 1.04% level.

Long Island had a level of 1.0% and New York City had a level of 1.1%.

Kallan said the Nassau level was 0.8%. To keep it up, we want to do everything we can. “

Nassau County recorded 35 confirmed new cases on Monday, with 45 in Suffolk and 272 in New York City, according to state data.

The number of daily deaths from the virus across the state was 10, at the peak of April, close to 800.

Asked why New York City did not see the surge in infection as a result of a large-scale protest that began in late May, Varma warned that the protest took place outdoors, with most participants wearing a mask. I guess I was paying attention.

He had more people gathered to protest, but could have “stayed indoors-and there was also a sort of offsetting effect” in another segment of the population that would not otherwise have. I said yes.

LI looks to Phase 4

Meanwhile, Long Island is preparing to enter Phase 4 of its Wednesday resumption. At that stage, higher education, recreation, arts and entertainment are possible.

“This is a big step forward that we are about to reach this final stage,” said Steve Belone, a Suffolk County executive. “We are very well prepared to enter Phase 4,” notes the low number of cases and hospitalizations.

In Suffolk, “low-risk indoor and outdoor activities” such as the Long Island Aquarium, Maritime Museum, and Game Farm will resume, Verone said.

Karan said the film and movie production could resume. “It’s actually a giant Nassau County generator,” she said. Nassau has reached out to many producers and is “ready.”

Debrasio said it is aiming to reopen 3,000 daycare centers by 13 July in New York City.

The rules under consideration allow no more than 15 children per room and require restrictions on social distance, face coverage for all, physical examination, frequent cleaning and disinfection, sharing of toys.

Northwell: COVID-19 patient decline

On Long Island, some of the hardest hit hospitals in the Northwell system reported a sharp decline from the April pandemic peak.

The Bayside Southside Hospital, near the Brentwood hotspot, was transferred from 310 COVID-19 patients on April 7 to four on Tuesday. Huntington Hospital increased the number of patients on April 7 from 225 to 6.

On the other hand, even if the peak of the pandemic reached Long Island almost three months ago, demand for COVID-19 testing continues to grow in the region, said Dr. Dwayne Brain, executive director of Northwell Health Labs. ..

“Some people are returning to work in the office environment and they are being tested,” said Brenning. “We also had to test all patients coming to treatment, and we had a long backup of patients waiting to be treated during the pandemic.”

Demand has increased in many parts of the country and the number of cases of COVID-19 has increased, slowing the time to results for some patients.

Nidine Mohan, owner of Deer Park-based New Island Pharmacy, said he called three patients in need of testing, with many clinics taking up to 10 days. I said.
