Novel Coronavirus - COVID-19

County health officials are on the front lines of preparing communities and providing accurate information for the spread of the novel coronavirus. NYSAC is working with our federal and state partners to provide you with the resources you need to protect the health of your residents. To support these efforts, please find materials below that can be adapted by your county and shared with residents and visitors.

Please email our staff at coronavirus@nysac.org if your county has questions we can help with, or any best practices you would like us to share.

COVID-19 Map

This map shows the number of confirmed cases in each county. Because random testing is not taking place, it is likely that the number of people with COVID-19 is higher than the number of confirmed cases. Even in counties with few or no reported cases, it is important to practice social distancing and frequent hand washing.
