The cases involve four women, ranging in age from women in their 20s into their 60. They are from Conesus, Geneseo, Nunda and Mount Morris.

Livingston County Health Department staff will reach out to identify people who came in close contact with the patients and may have been exposed to the virus.

The positive cases include a cluster among Livingston County government staff.  Exposure to the virus may have happened at Building #2 of the Livingston County Department of Health on Murray Hill Drive in Mount Morris between April 13 and April 16. Anyone who was at that facility between those dates and shows symptoms is asked to contact the Livingston County Department of health at 585-243-7270.

“Amid this crisis, the greatest exposure risk we have as an employer is with our front line staff,” Livingston County Administrator Ian M. Coyle says. “Our public health employees are doing incredible work in the field to trace the spread of COVID-19, and thus, they are routinely exposed to the risk of infection. Unfortunately, the spread has now reached some of our own Livingston County family.”
