LATEST BUFFALO CORONAVIRUS NEWS

Niagara Falls, NY (WBEN) - Even though guidance has now been given to schools across New York State on a number of topics including in-class and remote learning, and most recently sports, there is still one big question mark many administrators and teachers have.There is still no official word from the Department of Education on whether or not state tests will be issued for this school year. While there is no indication when that decision will be made, some school leaders are hoping to get the question resolved soon."I can only surmise and hope that with everything going on, with the multiple learning styles, that very soon a decision is made to delay both state testing and regents testing," said Niagara Falls Schools Superintendent Mark Laurrie. "It would be a major help to the smooth and calm running of schools throughout the state if we knew (testing) has taken a hiatus."Laurrie told WBEN on the first day of school in Niagara Falls that putting a pause on state tests would not excuse accountability, but would give his teachers some reassurance that they will not necessarily be evaluated the same way during a school year with so many new and constantly changing ways of delivering instruction.Now is the time that Laurrie believes attention should be focused on taking care of children, and not necessarily focusing on a test. "This is the time when we should be re-developing the regents requirements," Laurrie said. "Not after this is over. This is the time when we should be awarding points and diplomas for things other than passing a test... This is the time to re-constitute what it takes to be a high school graduate. I think we're missing that opportunity if we don't attend to that now." When will schools get answers on exams? The Board of Regents is scheduled to meet Monday, where they could decide how or if to hold the next round of exams. Currently, those examinations are scheduled to take place in January.

NY eases restrictions on visits at assisted living homes

ALBANY, N.Y. (WBEN/AP) — New York is now allowing visitors to see loved ones at assisted living homes that are COVID-free for 14 days, down from 28 days under previous guidance.The 28-day threshold for restricted visits still applies to nursing homes.Family members and friends of residents at the state’s nursing homes and assisted living homes have been urging the state for months to ease its March 13 ban on most visits. The state’s guidance has allowed visits for medically necessary or end-of life services.New York announced July 10 that it would begin allowing restricted visits at nursing homes and assisted living facilities that haven’t had a COVID-19 case among residents or staffers for 28 days.Visits are limited to outdoor areas with weather permitting, though visits of no more than 10 individuals in a well-ventilated space can be allowed in “certain limited circumstances.”But loved ones of residents at homes housing the state’s elderly that have yet to meet the benchmark have expressed frustration and questioned why the state’s threshold was above the federal 14-day incubation period for COVID-19.State Department of Health spokesperson Jonah Bruno said the state is easing the policy just for assisted living homes because outbreaks are “less common” than at nursing homes.“We understand how difficult the pandemic-related lockdowns have been for all New Yorkers, especially for children in nursing homes and their families,” Bruno said. “Outbreaks in pediatric nursing homes and adult care facilities have fortunately been less common and acute than at adult nursing homes, which has allowed us to expand visitation at these facilities.”State Health Commissioner Howard Zucker has defended the visitation policy as protecting a vulnerable population from the risk of infection by outside visitors. Employees of nursing homes and adult care facilities must be tested once or twice a week under a May 10 executive order.Nearly 6,500 residents have died or likely died of COVID-19 at nursing homes as of Tuesday, according to state Department of Health data. The state’s data also includes at least 177 deaths among residents of adult care homes.The state hasn’t reported how many nursing home and assisted living residents have died at hospitals, or how many residents tested positive for COVID-19.Bruno said the health department will keep monitoring assisted living homes “to ensure this action does not lead to an increase in cases.”The state’s move drew applause from Stephen Hanse, president and CEO of the New York State Health Facilities Association and the New York State Center for Assisted Living.“It has been since early March of this year that adult care residents have been unable to receive visitors in person because of the COVID-19 pandemic,” Hanse said.He said residents have become skilled at using digital tools like Skype to connect with loved ones, but added: “digital interaction doesn’t compare to the joy of in-person interaction.”“We are hopeful that a similar plan will soon be implemented for skilled nursing facilities,” Hanse said.The state’s restricted visitation policy only allows visits of up to two people, and only 10% of the residents can be allowed visitors at any time. Visitors must also undergo temperature checks, follow social distancing rules and wear protective gear.

Traffic still not as heavy as usual

Buffalo, NY (WBEN) If you commute to work and it's been a bit easier over the past six months, you're not alone. Traffic has been lighter since most employees have had to work from home. It's still the case as the school year begins."We haven't seen an increase in traffic at all, even with school starting up this week," says Athena Hutchins of NITTEC. "Some of the traffic we normally see in the morning is a lot of commuter traffic, and that's still way down especially coming into the city of Buffalo." Hutchins says it's been a while since we've seen a normal volume. "The normal recurring congestion we see, we haven't seen since March. The last time we saw significant traffic was before the shutdown in March.WBEN Traffic Command's Allan Harris is noting lesser volume too. "Normally you would see heavy traffic as far as school buses aren't concerned, but some districts aren't busing and parents are driving their children, but that's within the district so we haven't seen a great deal of traffic at this point," says Harris. "But in the last couple of weeks, the major throughfares are picking up, the South Parks, the Transits, the Niagara Falls Boulevards, there's so much more traffic because more people are getting out of their homes and people are going back to school."Harris says the Thruway is seeing more volume on the Thruway but the Elm Street off ramp on the 190, one of the busiest spots, has remained light. "We are still doing okay. It's getting busier but we're not getting the big major backups. The only time we're seeing them nowadays is after a crash, and hopefully we won't see to many of them," notes Harris. Athena Hutchins, NITTEC Allan Harris, WBEN Traffic Command

New York's public high schools moving football to March

LATHAM, N.Y. (WBEN/AP) — The New York State Public High School Athletic Association announced Wednesday that football, volleyball and competitive cheer fall seasons will be postponed until March to address concerns associated with the novel coronavirus.“We’ve spent two days speaking with nearly 500 athletic directors across the state and it’s clear that administering high-risk fall sports during the COVID-19 pandemic presents a significant challenge for our member schools,” said Dr. Robert Zayas, NYSPHSAA executive director. “These are unprecedented times and, unfortunately, difficult decisions will have to be made to address this ongoing crisis.”As a result of the move, the start date for the spring sports season has been moved from March 15 to April 19.Low and moderate risk fall sports practices are still scheduled to begin Sept. 21 for those schools and sections who have determined it’s feasible to host interscholastic athletics. Those sports include girls tennis, cross country, girls swimming and diving, boys and girls soccer, and field hockey.

Recent increase in COVID cases linked to college students

BUFFALO, N.Y. (WBEN) – An alarming of recent positive coronavirus cases in Erie County is attributed to college students in the area.Last week there were 496 confirmed cases of coronavirus in the county. 323 of those new cases are people under the age of 30. People between the ages of 18 and 22 accounted for 207 of those cases. Of the total number of cases last week, Buffalo’s 14214 area code had the largest number of cases. This zip code includes University Heights, the neighborhood near the University at Buffalo’s South Campus. It also includes the Parkside neighborhood and campus housing for students at Canisius College.“42 percent of all cases last week were from college-aged persons, 18 to 22,” Poloncarz said. “The diagnostic test results for this age group for last week was 6.9 percent. The test for all other categories, including that age group, was around 2…As a UB grad, this distresses me.”The University at Buffalo reported 122 current cases of coronavirus, 113 are students who live off campus. “This is really concerning,” Poloncarz said. “A lot of them don’t seem to care. Unless they get sick. A lot of them who got tested were sick. They got tested because they were sick.”By comparison, the 14211 zip code, Buffalo’s East Side, had 25 cases. Poloncarz is urging anyone who attended a house party in those areas in the last two weeks to get a diagnostic test. He also said students should be concerned that they could be suspended or expelled from school if they don’t cooperate with efforts by contact tracers to reach them. Law enforcement did sweep those neighborhoods but did not find as many mass gatherings as they did in prior weeks, according to the county executive.

Cuomo: caution flag stays up for WNY

Buffalo, NY (WBEN) The caution flag remains up for Western New York, says Governor Cuomo. The region's positive test rates for COVID went up Tuesday."We're still watching WNY. It's at 1.5 percent, that's not good," says Cuomo. "We have been taking actions in Western New York and I think people got the message. We still have the caution flag, but the numbers aren't increasing. That's good news," says Cuomo.Cuomo announces the 33rd straight day that New York State's COVID-19 infection rate has been below 1 percent. Yesterday, 0.91 percent of tests reported to the state were positive. "New York State's infection rate has been under 1 percent for 33 straight days, which is great news and a credit to New Yorkers and what they're doing," Cuomo says. "And that is with more testing than any other state. If you want to see something interesting, look at how many tests different states are taking. If you don't do many tests, you won't find many cases and the number of cases will drop. But that is false comfort. When we say this is how many cases we have, that's accurate because we're testing more than anyone else."He adds the New York State Department of Financial Services has taken action to extend emergency regulations requiring New York health insurers to waive cost-sharing associated with emergency room visits, in-network telehealth visits, in-network outpatient provider office visits, in-network urgent care center visits, and in-network laboratory tests when the purpose of the visit or test is to diagnose COVID-19, and waiving cost-sharing for in-network telehealth services for any healthcare service covered under a policy, including mental health and substance use disorder treatment until November 9, 2020.

Back to school: Spotlight West Seneca

West Seneca, N.Y. (WBEN) "This is a spare tire until we can get everyone in the classroom." West Seneca Teacher Association President Joe Cantafio explaining the school district's reopening plan on WBEN Wednesday morning."Every district is trying to do their very best to get kids back to school and to keep them in school. West Seneca is focused on a consistent educational plan where we have contact with every student, every day." More Back-to-School Reaction - West Seneca Teachers Association President Joe Cantafio West Seneca Central Schools are under a 5-day a week full remote plan. Over six thousand chromebooks were distributed to students, teachers are reporting to their classrooms, and students are logging on each day for live instruction."This gives us the opportunity to make sure that we're connecting with our students every single day."Cantafio, who is in his 26th year at West Seneca West High School teaching social studies, said nothing can replace in-person learning, but this is a short term fix. He noted that the district had over 95% attendance on Tuesday, the first day of school."I give our IT department a ton of credit for that," said Cantafio.Staying connected with students daily, and checking on their social and emotional health is a priority.What is it like to teach in an empty classroom? "It's not what we signed up for and it's not what families signed up for. I miss the in-person connections, but we have to have a positive attitude," he said. "We know there are going to be some hiccups along the way, but we need to work through them and do the best we can. One of the skills that a good teacher develops is, how to read a room. There are things you can do when you're starting to lose a student. And a good teacher can tell if there's something on a student's mind. That's going to be a challenge while we're doing it remotely," he said. If there's one thing Cantafio has already learned, it's that students are much more resilient than adults. "When you ask students to wear a mask, there's no controversy. They do it. When you ask students to log-on to remote learning, they do it. We adults, get caught up in what-ifs, but our students seem to realize it's a tough situation, and they want to make the best of it.

Meat raffles look to continue fundraising despite setbacks

BUFFALO, N.Y. (WBEN) - Western New Yorkers have largely missed out on one of the region's most popular activities this year: meat raffles.The raffles have traditionally been used to raise funds for area not-for-profit organizations. It's not uncommon for there to be dozens of meat raffles in and around Buffalo each week that draw hundreds of eager meat-seekers.The government is forbidding in-person meat raffles due to the pandemic. Caitlynne Kesty, a local meat raffle emcee and admin at WNY Meat Raffles, said this year has hurt a lot of these not-for-profits."It was helping to raise a lot of money for most travel teams and schools" Kesty said. "Now they don't have that influx of money and a lot of things just stopped. They're not able to get funding they normally have and have to postpone things. A lot of baseball teams go to Cooperstown. Or they're raising money to get supplies for school. A lot of people are wondering what are we going to do?"The solution? Virtual meat raffles. WNY Meat Raffles admin and emcee Caitlynne Kesty talks 2020 meat raffle season Kesty organizes the meat raffles by having the groups pay electronically. She then organizes all participants in a spreadsheet and gives them three random numbers each round. A Facebook live begins so that participants can follow along.Winners of various meats can pick up their prize the next day at a site determined by the fundraising organization.Surpringly, some groups have raised more money by conducting a virtual meat raffle instead of an in-person one. Even though no one can physically attend a location, the virtual meat raffles allowed for organizations to reduce costs such as renting out a gymnasium or VFW hall."The first meat raffle I ever did, right off the bat they raised $10,000," Kesty said. "And that was after everything was paid for. The hall, the meat, right off the bat, it was $10,000...One thing we did notice is that they can actually make more because they're not paying for the hall, alcohol, or tickets. They're solely paying for our services as far as getting the meat all put together and getting the meat handed out. They could double their income."Even though Kesty and other organizers have largely ironed out how to successfully operate a meat raffle, there's groups that are negatively impacted with the loss of in-person meat raffles. The buildings that traditionally rent out the spaces for the non-profits are losing out on costs."A close personal one to me is out in Riverside," she said. "They haven't been able to fix their facility because they don't have the essentially free income to them. They don't have the money raised."Meat companies are also hurting because there are fewer events.Dave Czuprynski, Vice President of Purchasing at Latina Boulevard Foods, said they helped organize meat for about 25 to 30 events last year. This year, he said it's been in the single digits. Dave Czuprynski of Latina Boulevard Foods talks loss of meat raffles "It's been just about non-existant," Czuprynski said. "It's a critical component to our business. We definitely miss them. We hope we will get back with them soon and get this thing behind us and get back to something that resembles some sort of normal."There's also the in-person experience of a meat raffle where friends and families can get together to celebrate. Kesty said she doesn't think virtual meat raffles will become the standard in the future."I think some of them might stick to virtual but I think the biggest thing with meat raffles is getting people together and having fun," she said. "You don't get that personal experience. Sure, you get to look at my face the whole night. But you don't get to sit with all your friends and have the drinks and a free night out away from the kids. You're stuck at home watching a Facebook Live and eating your own snacks whereas you get to go out and have fun, make jokes, yell 'hot dogs' in the middle of a hall."For a future list of meat raffles, visit WNYMeatRaffles.com

Cuomo: COVID-19 a problem on New York campuses

NEW YORK (WBEN/AP) — Gov. Andrew Cuomo said Tuesday that COVID-19 outbreaks at colleges are already a problem, with one school shut down and cases rising on other campuses.Cuomo said the state health department would soon issue regulations requiring colleges to notify health officials when they have 100 confirmed cases, which could prompt a switch to remote learning for at least two weeks.SUNY Oneonta announced last week that it was moving all students to remote learning off campus for the fall semester due to an outbreak. The college had 651 confirmed cases by Monday.The governor said at a briefing that six other colleges in New York had seen outbreaks: Cornell University, University at Buffalo, Hofstra University, SUNY Oswego, Colgate University and SUNY Fredonia.Each of those schools was reporting fewer than 100 cases Tuesday.“In New York, we have a problem,” Cuomo said.The governor said the virus is being spread at parties, some attended by students from states on New York’s quarantine list.He was especially critical of authorities allowing New York University students, many without masks, to socialize in Manhattan's Washington Square Park this past weekend.

Suburban and Catholic schools open doors & portals

Lewiston and Tonawanda N.Y. (WBEN) "We're ready to go," said Lewiston-Porter Central Superintendent Paul Casseri, just before the arrival of students on the first day of school Tuesday. Lew-Port is offering hybrid and remote learning. "We have a little over two thousand students and about three-hundred have opted to go all virtual." He considers that a manageable number. Lew-Port is divided into 2 teams, green and white groups (the school colors). Each group will report to school two days a week.On the first day, Casseri said they need to figure out drop offs and pickups, with more families driving their kids, than in previous years. "This morning at the high school and at the middle school, we have new routing for drop offs. We want to make sure it moves as smoothly as possible. But it's going to take more time to sort out," he said.Asked how the district is handling lunch, Casseri didn't hold back. "Lunch is not going to be as fun as it once was. There are individual desks in the cafeteria, 6 feet apart, instead of a large cafeteria table. The students can take their mask off to eat their lunch. After lunch, they can go outside for 15 or 20 minutes," he said. Schools Are Opening - Report From Lew-Port Superintendent Paul Casseri Over at St. Amelia's Catholic School in Tonawanda, teachers and administrators have a little more time. Principal Scott Kapperman says the school will open its doors and web portal to students on Wednesday. "Out of 500 students, 35 have chosen remote learning. The rest are getting 5 day a week in-person learning," said Kapperman.Class size has been capped at twenty. But Kapperman says with the remote option, many classes are well below twenty.Enrollment has increased at St. Amelia's due to the 5-day in person learning. "We've had a lot more interest in our school and many other Catholic schools as well. Many schools have a waiting list because classes are capped at twenty," said Kapperman. Every desk at St. Amelia's has a partition and desks are spaced six feet apart. Students are required to wear masks.Specials, like music and art are offered, although some will look different than before. Gym will be held outside as much as possible. "If we can't have it outside, it will be in a classroom," said Kapperman. "Inside, they'll learn about nutrition or the history of music because we can't have them playing wind instruments." Opening Is Tomorrow For St Amelia School - Principal Scott Kapperman New York State is getting ready to begin posting an online dashboard of daily Covid data for school districts across the state. WBEN asked Lew-Port's Paul Casseri where that data is coming from, and if teachers are under any form of testing mandate. "I don't know," he said. "We've been given no guidance with regard to that. Quite honestly, we may or may not know due to hipaa laws. Me and my colleagues at Niagara-Orleans BOCES are scratching our heads over this. We may or may not know about positive cases," he said. The statewide dashboard is set to go live on Wednesday.
