ACCORD produces video on COVID-19 biz reopening By BOB CLARK BELMONT — A helpful video created by a local nonprofit should help businesses get back on their feet as the region reopens from COVID-19 shutdowns. Ruby Lananger, business and loan manager with Belmont-based ACCORD Corp., working with Genesee Valley Media, prepared a video presentation on how to certify business compliance and safety plans. The 10-minute video outlines how to access planning documents via the NY Forward website, required and recommended best practices for various industries, how to create a safety plan, and how to affirm compliance with the state. The video is available at www.oleantimesherald. com with the online edition of this story, The region was in Phase 2 as of Monday, with Phase 3 expected to begin today. For reopening information, visit www.forward.ny.gov or www.alleganyco.org/ coronavirus/reopeningallegany-county. THE ALLEGANY COUNTY Department of Health on Friday reported that COVID-19 cases rose to 57 over the past 72 hours, with two reported Sunday and two reported
Monday. Meanwhile, 51 patients have recovered. One death was reported in late March. As of earlier this week, 730 residents have been in quarantine or isolation, while 27 remain separated. On June 12, Allegany County officials issued a fourth state of emergency for COVID-19. County Board of Legislators Chairman Curt Crandall, R-Belfast, signed the order. The state of emergency, along with allowing for special actions, also allows for local residents, businesses, governments and nonprofits to access certain government grant and loan programs. The order also allows local municipalities to issue separate orders. Since the order was first issued in March, county officials have taken several steps under the order, such as allowing the county administrator to make purchases of COVID-19 supplies without prior approval from the board. However, the resolutions are limited to a maximum of 30 days, and must be renewed or allowed to expire — impacting aid opportunities. The first was issued March 14; the second on April 13; and the fourth on May 13.
