In Saratoga County, the rise in percentage positive cases of COVID-19 is similar to Albany County.

There were 75 new cases on Friday.   

The seven-day rolling average for the positivity rate is 4%.

Saratoga County has a new public health commissioner, Dr. Daniel Kuhles.

It was the first public briefing Dr. Kuhles gave, but the message is not new.

"When you go out into the public we're asking people, that should in this phase of the pandemic, to assume as you should that COVID is there. Take these actions that are simple to choose to protect your health, that of your family and that of your community," Dr. Kuhles said. 

Those actions include social distancing, masks, and hand washing.
