Woodstock officials want more transparency from businesses on Covid positives

Two Woodstock CVS employees have tested positive for Covid-19, Woodstock Town Supervisor Bill McKenna said at last week’s town board meeting. One employee last worked in the Woodstock store on October 31 and the other on November 1.

Initially, corporate policy prevented store management from providing information. After communication with the town, the CVS corporate offices provided information about the two cases.

“Moving forward, they agreed to be more transparent about letting us know,” McKenna said.

The supervisor complimented other businesses, including Silvia and Dixon Roadside — two restaurants that closed after employees tested positive — for their transparency in communicating their situation to the public.

Colony Woodstock, which has reinvented itself as an outdoor beer garden, announced that it was closed until further notice out of an abundance of caution, although none of its employees have tested positive.

As the Covid cases rise in the county, the town has reverted to the closed-door policy it implemented in the beginning of the outbreak this spring. Town offices will be open by appointment only, but will remain available by phone or email during regular hours, McKenna said.

“We implore folks to wear masks, socially distance and wash your hands. Please be safe,” reads a post on the town’s Facebook page.

Nick Henderson was raised in Woodstock starting at the age of three and attended Onteora schools, then SUNY New Paltz after spending a year at SUNY Potsdam under the misguided belief he would become a music teacher. He became the news director at college radio station WFNP, where he caught the journalism bug and the rest is history. He spent four years as City Hall reporter for Foster’s Daily Democrat in Dover, NH, then moved back to Woodstock in 2003 and worked on the Daily Freeman copy desk until 2013. He has covered Woodstock for Ulster Publishing since early 2014.
