Madison County health officials say if you were at TOPS on April 5th from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. you should monitor your symptoms. Public Health Director Eric Faisst says,

After conducting an investigation to identify all close contacts of the individual it was determined this person had been to the Tops in Chittenango on that evening without wearing a face mask.

Madison County is asking residents to not go out in public unless they have to, and if you need to shop for essentials or go to the park please limit your outings to the following days:
Odd Birth Year: Monday, Wednesday, Friday and April 12
