MAYVILLE – There were 50 new cases of COVID-19 reported in Chautauqua County from Friday though Sunday.  In addition, one new death was reported on Friday afternoon.

The Chautauqua County Health Department reported Friday afternoon that a man his 70s with multiple comorbid conditions succumbed to complications of COVID-19 at an out of state hospital.

Meanwhile, 95 cases had recovered, including 75 residents.  Health officials are also monitoring a cluster involving employees of the  Jamestown Fire Department, were seven active cases were reported as of Friday.  There was also a Private wedding event in the North County that resulted in 21 total cases, including nine that were still active as of Friday.  A Social clubs in the Dunkirk area also resulted in 17 cases, including six that were active as of Friday.

There’s been a total of 1,088 cases of COVID-19 in the county since the pandemic first began in March. As of Friday, 904 had recovered and there were also a total of 15 deaths.

Health officials also say October yielded the most cases of COVID-19 in the county since the pandemic began, with signs that it will continue to see cases climb in November.  With schools and colleges back in session, businesses reopening, and colder weather upon us, residents are spending more time indoors and more time with other people.  Spending time indoors with non-household contacts and without masks are key elements to the spread of COVID-19.

County Health Director Christine Schuyler reminds the public that everyone needs to take personal responsibility for not spreading it. She says to Wear a mask, keep your distance, wash your hands, and stay home if you’re not feeling well.
