The last coronavirus holdout in New York: A rural upstate county braces itself.
While 105 tests have been administered in Seneca County to date, health officials are concerned that the number of coronavirus cases is underreported because there aren't enough tests and PPE supplies are limited.
"I have been telling our first responders to assume everyone is positive in order to protect themselves," Taylor said."Because we were the last county with a positive case, there are concerns about PPE supplies drying up when we need them most. We hope that won’t be the case." UR Medicine logo is posted on one of the buildings at Strong Memorial Hospital in Rochester, N.Y., March 3, 2020.
