covid 19 schools

Onondaga County will consider additional COVID-19 mitigation measures if case numbers don’t flatten out soon. But County executive Ryan McMahon wouldn’t say what they might do. Central New York has one of the higher 7-day positive rates in the state.

Onondaga County’s health commissioner says they’re thinking about using incentives to overcome asymptomatic COVID-19 testing hesitancy at schools. The money would come from an $11 million state grant for school district testing that county lawmakers are likely to accept Tuesday.

The governor's new policy comes on the heels of a similar COVID-19 screening strategy announced by the Onondaga County executive earlier the same day.
