Oneida County Heads Towards COVID-19 Yellow Zone



[ad_1]

Oneida County is approaching a 7-day average of 3% positive COVID-19 tests, which would push it into the governor’s yellow zone restrictions. The county was at a 2.9% 7-day moving average yesterday with 57 new positive cases to report at noon Sunday. This brings the total number of active COVID cases to 745 and 3,572 since the start of the epidemic.

Governor Cuomo’s “Yellow Zone” is designed to come into play in any county that achieves a 3% positivity rate for a 7-day moving average. Counties reaching the yellow zone would face new restrictions, including mandatory testing in schools, or opt for 100% virtual learning.

Sunday’s increase of 57 cases is down from the previous days when new cases were 100 and more.
