Broome County is under a Yellow Zone advisory for an uptick in cases and has been dealing with a reduction in capacity allowances for restaurants and gatherings, mandated testing for schools and restrictions on the size of religious gatherings.

October 6, Broome County was included under the state’s Cluster Action Initiative as new coronavirus infections spiked.  The County began the restrictions aimed at curbing the spread on the 9th and is due to be re-evaluated after the two week period is over October 23.

The County is still reporting double-digit increases in infections, but the rate of the spread seems to have slowed somewhat.  October 19, Broome had 37 new cases while active case numbers continue to fluctuate.
