“The coronavirus is still here,” Southampton Town Supervisor Jay Schneiderman said Thursday morning, September 10, during a brief Town Board work session.
While some days have seen infection rates below 1 percent, on Wednesday the rate increased to 1.8 percent. Thirty-three patients suffering from COVID-19 were hospitalized across the county, a figure up by four from the day before. Hospitalizations in that range have been constant “for a while now,” Mr. Schneiderman said.
In Southampton, where the county reports a total of 1,197 cases, Mr. Schneiderman said there are “a few” new cases reported each day [more].
