Community Resources

According to the New York State Department of Health, your local health department is your community contact for COVID-19 concerns.

Fulton County Public Health Department
Fulton County Public Health would like to offer some resources to people to help with reducing the spread of disease. If you are experiencing symptoms such as a fever, cough, sneezing, or shortness of breath then please contact your primary health care provider to review your symptoms. Please, unless you have a true emergency, do not just go to Urgent Care or the Emergency Room.

The best way to prevent and slow down transmission is be well informed about the COVID-19 virus, the disease it causes and how it spreads. Protect yourself and others from infection by washing your hands or using an alcohol based rub frequently and not touching your face.
