County Administrator Jason Molino and Public Health Director Frank Kruppa shared an update Tuesday on Tompkins County’s response to COVID-19. The update included data on the source of exposure to COVID-19 over time, showing a slight shift toward more community spread of the disease, though total case numbers are still low and broad implications cannot yet be drawn.
Molino clarified that any move into future reopening phases may not happen on 14-day timelines, as the State has shared that there will be further reviews of the metrics in-between phases. Molino also shared that the County budget process is ongoing and that he is working with departments to assess impacts and to plan for moving forward.
Tompkins County, part of the Southern Tier region, is in Phase 2 of reopening. Outdoor dining at restaurants restarted yesterday in Phase 2 regions. There have been no COVID-19 deaths of Tompkins County residents.
