Statement from Ulster County Commissioner of Health Dr. Carol Smith

Ulster County Commissioner of Health Dr. Carol Smith released the following statement today:

“The CDC has now updated Ulster County’s COVID-19 community transmission level to high. The increased number of COVID-19 positive cases in Ulster County and the mid-Hudson region is being attributed to the new Omicron variant, XBB 1.5. Therefore, I would like to remind Ulster County residents of the precautions they can take to protect themselves and their families: consider wearing a mask when indoors, maintain good ventilation and airflow in indoor spaces, test as soon as COVID symptoms are suspected, stay home when sick, and follow the CDC’s recommendations for what to do if you are exposed to someone with COVID-19.

Most importantly, stay up-to-date with COVID-19 vaccinations, including recommended booster doses. Fully vaccinated persons are less likely to experience severe disease requiring hospitalization. The Ulster County Department of Health conducts COVID vaccination clinics for individuals aged five and above at the former Best Buy site at the Hudson Valley Mall. COVID-19 vaccinations and boosters are also widely available for children and adults at many area pharmacies, urgent care centers, and doctor’s offices. Find more information at https://covid19.ulstercountyny.gov/.”
