While Tioga County is seeing some fully vaccinated people test positive for COVID-19, we continue to see
more positive cases among those who are unvaccinated.

New Cases: 44

Vaccination status is self-reported by the positive case or their parent/guardian during the case investigation. Several factors may impact one’s protection against COVID-19 including which vaccine they got and how long it has been since they received it. The COVID-19 vaccine offers protection against severe illness, hospitalization, and death.
Tioga County Public Health wishes our students, teachers, and other school staff a happy, healthy, and productive school year! As a reminder, anyone who is sick should stay home, contact their health care provider, and get tested for COVID-19 to prevent further spread of the virus.
