St. Lawrence County now has 63 COVID-19 cases; 17 off mandatory isolation 'doing well'

Posted

St. Lawrence County Public Health officials report 63 confirmed cases of COVID-19 infection in St. Lawrence County as of Monday, April 6 at noon.

They report four hospitalizations, as well as 17 people who "have come off mandatory isolation, and are doing well."

"As we’ve stated before, the reality of the situation is that every place is potentially a location that you could catch the virus. Please continue to stay home as much as possible, keep surfaces clean, maintain social distancing recommendations, wash your hands with soap, stay home if sick, and encourage others to do the same. Finally, please show kindness to others,' Community Health Educator Brigette Conklin said in an email reporting the updated numbers.

Public Health reports that Massena has 14 cases, leading the county, but that number hasn't gone up since their last report of cases by town.

Potsdam is up to nine confirmed cases, with six each in Stockholm, Oswegatchie and Ogdensburg.
