Chautauqua County Commission Confirms Maximum Quarantine Time

 

The Chautauqua County Commission has confirmed that the maximum quarantine time in the county will be 14 days.

 

Resolution 20-21-07 was passed by the two attending members of the commission Tuesday, and limits the maximum amount of time a person can be quarantined as a close contact to 14 days. Recent KDHE guidelines have suggested that those who are identified as close contacts should be quarantined as long as 28 days.

 

At a previous meeting, the commissioners expressed concern at the effects a 28-day quarantine could have on an individual at work or in school. Discussions have taken place with both the county health department and county counselor Zoe Newton at previous meetings as well.
