There were more than 45 new cases reported in Ulster County between Thursday, July 2, and Sunday, July 5, prompting Ryan to issue warning to his constituents that the fight isn’t over.
According to Ryan, the spike is being attributed to graduation parties, a manufacturing facility, an apple orchard, and a softball team.
“We need to recognize that we are still engaged in the fight against COVID-19,” Ryan said. “Now is not the time to let our guard down.
“As we see cases continue to rise, we must double down on safety precautions which we know work—wearing masks, social distancing, and washing our hands—and continue to keep them up,” he continued. “We each have a part to play in ensuring the health and safety of our community.”
