Rochester City officials say they want to announce that one or more people who took part in the protest against an eviction on Friday 18 December in Glasgow St. in Cornhill they tested positive for COVID-19.
The city says that although they do not know exactly where and when the individual became infected, or if there was any exposure to the demonstration, officials wanted to make a public announcement very carefully so that other people who were present at the event ‘act are aware of the potential for exposure.
The City of Rochester has relayed the information to the Monroe County Department of Public Health.
The Rochester Police Department is following its established protocols to ensure that officers present also know this information and receive COVID-19 evidence.
