about confirmed cases. Also is pushing testing. He has not mentioned confirmed cases in Buffalo.

There were 2 suspected cases in Buffalo who were quarantined until test results came back negative.

I have heard a lot about preparations being made by Buffalo area hospitals and first responders, but nothing about confirmed cases.

Could it be that the nurse is seeing flu cases and thinking they could be covid 19 without test confirmation?

Proximity to the Canadian border is a risk factor, especially with tourism from around the world at Niagara Falls. There are 22 confirmed cases in Ontario, mostly around Toronto, but at least one in Kitchner.

NYers and Canadians from Ontario cross the border routinely every day.
