Several parts of New York State are considered microcluster “focus zones” where businesses and services are limited because of high COVID case numbers. Information on these areas can be found here: forward.ny.gov/.
New York State establishes focus zones. As of Tuesday, there was no indication that a microcluster classification was imminent for any Warren County communities.
The focus zone program for a “Yellow Zone,” the first level of restrictions, measures metrics that includes days of percent positive of COVID tests over 3% and puts additional emphasis on week-over-week growth of COVID-related hospitalizations.
Warren County’s test positivity rate was 6.4% as of Tuesday, the 14th straight day over 3%.
