Garnet, Public Health Collaborate
to Get Vaccines to More People
Harris, NY – Sullivan County Public Health Services and Garnet Health Medical Center-Catskills continue to partner to mount clinics to get COVID-19 vaccine out to residents.
As of Friday, February 26, Public Health has administered 2,155 vaccines (which includes 1,617 first doses and 538 second doses of the Moderna vaccine) in just over a month. The majority of these individuals have been essential workers as defined in category 1B by the State, and those age 65 and over.
Garnet Health Medical Center – Catskills has administered 3,600 doses, which includes 1,811 first doses and 1,789 second doses.
Both groups have partnered since December, even sharing staff and resources through a memorandum agreement. Weekly planning calls are also held to touch base with additional partners, including the Center for Discovery and Sun River Healthcare, and to redistribute vaccine as it becomes available.
“Garnet and Public Health have long been close allies in the constant quest for better health in Sullivan County, and the coronavirus pandemic has brought us even closer,” affirmed Public Health Director Nancy McGraw. “Using our notification list of residents who are eager to be vaccinated, our collaboration will result in several hundred more people receiving their first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine this coming week.”
Public Health expects to receive additional doses early next week from the regional distribution hub in addition to the weekly allocation of 300-400 doses that it has been ordering. Knowing that Public Health has a list of over 10,000 people interested in being vaccinated, Garnet leaders are willing to commit to working in collaboration with the County, utilizing its notification list. Individuals can sign up at www.sullivanny.us/departments/publichealth/covidvaccines, or those without access to the Internet can call 845-807-0925, which will be answered by a live person during business hours Monday through Friday.
“We are gearing up to have a much larger clinic at SUNY Sullivan shortly, and we will use the notification list to make that announcement simply because there are so many people on it who have been waiting,” noted McGraw.
Garnet Health Medical Center – Catskills will also be able to benefit from the County’s growing notification list to reach the public to notify them about upcoming clinics in Harris at their campus.
“Every dose we give to someone in Sullivan County is a welcome step forward in keeping everyone safe and in returning to normal life,” McGraw said. “I thank Garnet, our Emergency Community Assistance Center, the State and all our partners for ‘thinking outside the box’ and helping us reach high-risk people who might otherwise face significant challenges in registering for a clinic.”

TOWN OF MAMAKATING SUMMER DAY CAMP
After much consideration and review of the Department of Health’s requirements for summer day camps to open under COVID-19 regulations, it is with great sadness that the Town of Mamakating has canceled the 2020 Summer Day Camp program.
This was a very difficult decision that was made with consideration of the children, camp staff and all participating family’s health and safety. We realize that our children look forward to camp each year and have memorable summer experiences, however safety for all must be our priority.
We look forward to seeing you all in 2021 for our Summer Day Camp season.
We are currently exploring the possibility of having small-group youth programs. We will keep you informed as events unfold, keep checking our website.

Orange & Rockland Seeks Public’s Help in Keeping a Social Distance;
Asks Customers to Secure Pets to Reduce Dog-Bite Risk to Workers
To maintain the safety and health of its customers and employees, Orange & Rockland (O&R) urges the public to please refrain from approaching our crews, work sites or trucks as O&R employees read meters in the community.
All O&R employees have been instructed to follow Centers for Disease Control (CDC) guidelines to practice social distancing among themselves and between their crew members and the public. That becomes more difficult to do when approached by passersby who may not be as familiar with social distancing.
So, please respect social distancing and keep back from O&R work areas and remain at a safe distance from O&R workers.
In addition, O&R asks its customers who own dogs to keep their dogs on a leash, indoors or otherwise under secure control to avoid the possibility of O&R personnel being bitten while working on customer property.
O&R is well aware that its customers cherish their dogs. Every responsible dog owner knows that even the most even-tempered, gentle dog is capable of biting someone. These days when more family members are home during the day, it makes sense that dogs may feel more protective of their home turf than usual and become more agitated and aggressive when strangers appear outside the home.
That’s why, to help create the safest environment possible for both O&R employees and customers’ pets, O&R asks its customers to keep dogs on a leash, indoors or otherwise under secure control to avoid the possibility of conflict when O&R workers are present.

A letter from the Supervisor:
May 11, 2020
To our Mamakating Community Members,
The Town of Mamakating is monitoring the summer camp situation closely.
Presently, the Empire State Development (ESD) does not list summer camps as an ‘Essential Service’ and therefore camps cannot operate under Gov. Cuomo’s State of Emergency. It should be noted that while operation of summer camps is currently prohibited by the State, construction at summer camps is allowed as an essential service.
Summer camps are regulated and permitted by the NYS Department of Health (DOH), not the local municipalities. Under NYS law, the NYS DOH is the “Authority Having Jurisdiction” (AHJ), and we, local officials, cannot overrule their decisions, regulations or rulings. It is my understanding that there have been social media posts directing concerned citizens to call their Town Supervisors. They might be better served by expressing their concerns additionally to our State representatives and the NYS Dept. of Health since they make the final decision. Today, Sullivan County Association of Supervisors sent a letter to the NYS DOH explaining the circumstances in our County and asking for guidance and a realistic and comprehensive plan to protect the lives of our residents and visitors.
Should the NYS DOH ultimately decide to allow summer camps to operate, they should do so only with a clear and enforceable plan to protect the campers and staff, our year-round and seasonal residents and protect our limited resources at Catskill Regional Medical Center. The NYS DOH should move with the utmost of caution and make decisions based on medical science – not emotions or political pressure.

Turkey hunting season runs from May 1-31, and youth turkey hunting season for New Yorkers 12 to 15 years old is April 25-26.
DEC’s Hunter Education Program (HEP) is partnering with Kalkomey Enterprises, a company that specializes in hunter education, to create this online course that can be completed in six to eight hours. The course is available to individuals 11 and older. Students can complete the course from a computer, tablet, or smart phone at any time. Visit https://www.hunter-ed.com/newyork/ to learn more or to sign up.
The curriculum for the online course is identical to what is taught in the traditional classroom course.

Students who successfully complete the online course and pass the final exam will receive a hunter education certificate and can purchase a hunting license from a DEC license issuing agent such as hardware stores and large retailers like Walmart.
The cost of the course is $19.95. The online course will be available through June 30, 2020, at https://www.hunter-ed.com/newyork/.
Traditional, classroom-based courses will resume at a future date. Visit the Hunter Education Program web page for updates and more information https://www.dec.ny.gov/outdoor/92267.html.

Update 3/24/20
From Governor Cuomo:
Good morning everyone,
During his Coronavirus briefing, Governor Cuomo confirmed 5,707 additional cases of novel coronavirus, bringing the statewide total to 20,875 confirmed cases in New York State.
New York City had a total of 3,260 new positive cases, bringing its total to 12,305.
The Governor announced an initial delivery of hospital supplies to the Jacob K. Javits Center where FEMA has started to build a 1,000-bed temporary hospital that will help increase New York’s hospital capacity to combat COVID-19 and open next week. This is in addition to the four sites selected by the Army Corps of Engineers that will create temporary hospitals in downstate New York with total capacity up to 4,000.
The Governor also announced that three former Secretaries to the Governor — Steve Cohen, Bill Mulrow and Larry Schwartz — are joining the Governor’s COVID-19 Task Force. Mulrow and Cohen will be tasked with developing a NYS Forward Plan - a strategy to restart the economy following the NYS on Pause executive order. Schwartz is tasked with helping the State acquire healthcare equipment and supplies and increasing New York’s hospital surge capacity.
Governor Cuomo signed an executive order requiring all hospitals to increase capacity by a minimum of 50 percent, with a goal of increasing capacity by 100 percent.
The Governor also launched the ’NY Stronger Together’ campaign urging New Yorkers to stay home, stop the spread and save lives. As part of the campaign, celebrities including Robert De Niro, Danny DeVito, Ben Stiller and La La Anthony have sent videos of themselves at home to reinforce the Governor’s message that young people must stay home not for themselves, but to help protect older and more vulnerable New Yorkers. The campaign will also aim to highlight donations from major corporations, celebrities, philanthropic organizations to help increase the state’s supply capacity.
Additionally, the Governor announced that the state is opening a drive-thru COVID-19 mobile testing facility in the Bronx.
