2019 Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19)
Potential Public Exposures
THE HEALTH AND WELL-BEING of our community is our top priority. Tompkins County Health Department (TCHD) is working closely with community partners to prevent and respond to the evolving novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak.
This page is no longer being updated.
Potential Exposure Alerts
COVID-19 continues to be present in our community, so universal precaution should be taken in any public setting: wear a mask, wash hands, keep distance, observe density, avoid gatherings.
If all COVID-19 protocols and guidance are being followed in a public setting, workplace, or facility, a public notice will not be issued. The Tompkins County Health Department carefully considers all positive case reports from the case investigation team when a positive case is a public facing employee, or an individual who was in a certain public area during the time when they may have been infectious.
