Hundreds of new confirmed cases of COVID-19 were identified Tuesday by the Chautauqua County Department of Health. The numbers represent data collected from Friday through Monday.

In addition, three new COVID-19-related deaths were recorded, marking 50 to date. The new deaths, according to county data, involve a person between the ages of 60 and 69; one between 70 and 79; and one between 80 and 89.

As of Tuesday, there were 847 active cases of the virus with 49 people in the hospital — an increase of seven from last count — and 4,899 recoveries.

Of the new cases identified in the four-day span, 87 came from the Dunkirk zip code, 37 in Fredonia, 89 in Jamestown, 17 in Bemus Point, 23 in Brocton, 11 in Falconer, 10 in Lakewood and 13 in Westfield.

To date, the county has confirmed 5,796 total cases of COVID.

Gov. Andrew Cuomo reported 167 new statewide deaths associated with the virus on Tuesday in addition to 12,512 new positive cases.

“On the eve of a new federal administration, New York is encouraged by the accelerated progress we are confident we will make in the coming months on the COVID front,” Cuomo said in his daily report. “We are seeing new strains of the virus from the UK, South Africa and Brazil that could spark a second wave. New York has used our experience from the spring to prepare our hospitals and our residents as we continue to fight this invisible enemy. As we prepare for better days, I encourage all New Yorkers to remain New York Tough: wear a mask, social distance and avoid large gatherings.”

The governor expressed optimism with the ongoing rollout of COVID vaccines across New York state. He said health care facilities have distributed 79% of first doses received from the federal government and 77% of first and second doses.

In Western New York — which includes Chautauqua and Cattaraugus counties — 86,100 total doses of the vaccine had been received by facilities permitted to administered them, with 69,171 given out.

“This is a major milestone in the fight to defeat COVID-19. Despite the federal government opening up the floodgates of eligibility while decreasing the supply of vaccines, 1 million eligible New Yorkers and all nursing home residents and staff who wanted the vaccine have already been inoculated with the first dose,” Cuomo said. “To build on that momentum, I’m calling on the federal government to do its part and increase supply. We need to continue vaccinating all eligible New Yorkers quickly and equitably, and the more vaccines we have, the more easily we can accomplish that goal and spread immunity.”

The county Health Department noted on its COVID dashboard that 3,622 people had received their first dose, with 340 second doses administered. The information hasn’t been update, however, since Jan. 13.

In Cattaraugus County, 33 new COVID cases were announced Monday evening, marking 3,350 to date. There were 442 active cases in addition to 44 people with the virus in the hospital, 68 deaths and 2,840 recoveries.

And there were only three new cases of COVID-19 in Warren County announced on Tuesday and no new deaths. The Pennsylvania Department of Health’s daily statistics showed the lowest increase in new cases in months. The last time there were as few as three, there were two on Nov. 23. At that time, there had been 165 cases in the state.

Since then, the number has risen to 1,872. Over that time, less than two months, the average increase has been 29.95 new cases per day.

With no new deaths reported on Tuesday, the county’s COVID-related death toll remained at 73.
