Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo updated the status Friday of the COVID-19 micro-cluster focus areas in New York State, including Broome, Chemung and Schuyler. Despite the high positiveity rate in those three of the eight counties in the Southern Tier, the region has the second lowest three-day positively rate in the entire state … 3.2 percent, second only to the Mohawk Valley’s  2.6 percent rate.
Cuomo said Friday focus zones in Broome, Steuben and Chemung counties will not change. 
“As a matter of context, we are obviously in a different phase with COVID, and we’ve been talking about it for weeks, but we have to fully acknowledge it. The fall phase the scientists all predicted was going to be worse. You’re seeing global and national surges that are dramatic, and that’s the new reality of COVID. The challenge for our state, like other states, is managing the increase,,” said Cuomo.
