MAYVILLE – Health officials in Chautauqua County reported two new COVID-19 cases Tuesday.
Officials say the cases include a man in his 80s, with no recent travel, and a man in his 40s, with no recent travel.
The county COVID-19 total is now 10 cases.

In addition, there are several people who have received isolation and quarantine orders by the Public Health Director. This includes:
- 25 individuals in Mandatory Quarantine (individuals confirmed positive of COVID-19 or a household contact of a confirmed positive COVID-19 case);
- 28 individuals in Precautionary Quarantine (individuals with travel history to CDC level 3 country or proximal contact of a confirmed case of COVID-19).
- 32 individuals in Mandatory Isolation (individuals who are symptomatic of COVID-19 and are pending COVID-19 lab test); and
- 100 negative test results to date.
The County is also announcing that an online mapping tool to display data about positive COVID-19 cases will be launched tomorrow. The information will be divided by the four fire battalions in the County and will be updated regularly, said officials.
“County Executive Wendel and I believe it is important to share information that will help prevent the spread of this virus while also protecting the privacy and well-being of individuals,” said Christine Schuyler, Director of Health and Human Services.
