UPDATE: COVID-19 Information for Saratoga County

April 1, 2020

Ballston Spa, NY — The Saratoga County Department of Public Health today announced that there are 131 confirmed cases of COVID-19 in Saratoga County and 18 of those individuals are hospitalized at this time.

The County Department of Public Health and the Sheriff’s Office continue to receive reports of people gathering in groups and not adhering to physical distancing guidance that has been issued by federal, state, and local agencies.

“People need to understand that they are putting their loved ones at risk if they contract the virus but are asymptomatic,” said Saratoga County Director of Public Health Cathi Duncan. “Everyone should avoid gathering in groups both large and small or meeting people in person whenever possible while continuing to practice good respiratory hygiene. This is a serious virus, it can show up as mild symptoms in one person and make another person critically ill. Everyone needs to do their part in protecting themselves, as well as others.”
