The Suffolk County Department of Health Services learned on November 3 that a person who worked at the Stony Brook Southampton early-voting site tested positive for COVID-19. Subsequently, five additional poll workers at this location and four personal contacts of those workers have tested positive for the coronavirus.
While the department does not believe there to be any additional community spread from this case, we advise individuals who voted early at this location from October 26-28 to monitor their overall health for COVID symptoms and contact their health care practitioner if they become symptomatic.
