Dec 07, 2021 37 secs

The health advisory comes as the region faces a continuing surge in coronavirus cases and a mounting death toll, including five new deaths reported in Schenectady County.

Both Schenectady Manager Rory Fluman and Albany County Executive Dan McCoy's advisor Tuesday stops short of mandating mask-wearing for several reasons, including the inability to enforce it and the belief that the majority of the people in the county had moved on from the pandemic.

Albany County recently recorded nine coronavirus deaths in seven days.

Albany County has seen a significant increase in daily cases over the last week, which McCoy said he believes was the result of a Thanksgiving surge.

McCoy said the county had one new coronavirus death to report, a man in his 40s.
