KINGSTON – Ulster County Executive Patrick Ryan is concerned that as the coronavirus pandemic kicks into high gear around the county in its second phase, his county could face renewed spikes.
He said residents must keep up their vigilance to avoid catching the disease.
“I think this is a make or break moment for us as a county and a community where we have a chance to remain proactive and blunt a much more significant second wave. But it’s clear to me that it’s coming,” he said.
Ryan said the county currently has 311 active cases, the most since May. “That is trending in the wrong direction,” he said.
People must continue to wear masks, practice social distancing and wash their hands often, he said.
