Dear Tenants,                                                          April 20, 2020

As discussed yesterday, the number of cases in New York City are much different than the rest of the state. It seems as though Oneida County has reached a plateau for the amount of cases we are seeing come in positive. The numbers have not dipped significantly as we have been seeing in NYC. This means that the “curve” in upstate New York is a little behind other parts of our state.

The Governor has determined that NYS will plan on re-opening businesses in specific regions of the state as opposed to the entire state at once. New Hartford falls into the Mohawk Valley region, which includes Fulton, Herkimer, Montgomery, Oneida, Otsego, and Schenectady counties. Therefore, we must stay on top of not only our local numbers, but also the surrounding county numbers as we will not open up unless all of us are seeing the same downward spiral in caseloads!

         In addition, starting on April 28 the Governor is allowing elective outpatient surgeries/treatments/procedures in certain counties. In my opinion, you should not set-up these types of procedures unless they are life threatening or life altering situations. However, if you fall into one of these circumstances we recommend you contact your medical provider.

Stay safe & healthy,

Dominick M. Manfredo
