PUBLIC HEALTH NOTICE: Kingston barbershop with COVID-19 positive employee has been operating illicitly


County health officials recommend anyone who has received a haircut at a Kingston barber shop on Broadway in the past three weeks promptly seek testing for the coronavirus.

KINGSTON, N.Y. - Ulster County Health Commissioner Dr. Carol Smith announced today that a Kingston barber who has been providing haircuts during the last few weeks at a barbershop on Broadway has tested positive this week for the COVID-19 virus. Anyone who has received a haircut in a Kingston barbershop in the last three weeks is urged to promptly contact their primary care physician and seek testing, or contact the Ulster County COVID-19 hotline at (845) 443-8888. During the ongoing New York Pause directives from Gov. Andrew Cuomo, no barbershops, beauty salons, nail salons or other personal hygiene services are allowed to be open and operating for fear of spreading the potentially deadly virus.

 “We are taking extraordinary measures to try and minimize the spread of this dangerous disease and learning that a barbershop has been operating illicitly for weeks with a COVID-19 positive employee is extraordinarily disheartening,” said Dr. Smith. “As much as we would all like to go out and get a professional haircut, this kind of direct contact has the potential to dramatically spread this virus throughout our community and beyond. I urge anyone who has received a haircut at a Kingston barber in the last several weeks to immediately contact their physician or call our hotline to arrange for a diagnostic test.”

There are currently 1,533 confirmed cases of COVID-19 in Ulster County and 62 fatalities. For additional information about COVID-19, please visit: https://ulstercountyny.gov/coronavirus Ulster County COVID-19 Hotline: 845-443-8888 NYS Coronavirus Information Hotline: 888-364-3065

Annual Memorial Day Parade and Ceremony are Cancelled


KINGSTON, NY – Mayor Steven T. Noble and the Kingston Veterans Association have cancelled the 2020 Memorial Day parade and ceremony at City Hall, due to a ban on all gatherings in the state of New York. The organizers will instead hold the event on Veterans’ Day, if guidelines and recommendations at that time allow.

 “While we won’t have a public ceremony this year, it is still important for us all to personally pay tribute to those who have lost their lives fighting for our country,” said Mayor Noble. “I would also ask that we take a moment to thank all active duty and National Guard members who have stepped up to help during this pandemic. These men and women have bravely seen communities like ours through a scary and uncertain time, and should be commended.
