The state is reminding everyone that the best way to combat the virus is to protect ourselves and our loved ones. You can do that by getting vaccinated, getting boosted, getting tested, and staying home if you're not feeling well.
Here in Erie County, the Erie County Department of Health (ECDOH) is canceling COVID-19 testing sites, COVID-19 vaccine clinics, and its COVID-19 Information Line for today, Monday, January 17 due to the major winter storm that has dumped upwards of two feet of snow on many communities across Western New York.
If you had a COVID-19 test scheduled at an ECDOH site, you will be contacted to reschedule. You can CLICK HERE for up-to-date COVID-19 information for Erie County.
