GOSHEN, NY — The Orange County Health Department is advising anyone who worked or attended the New York Renaissance Faire Sept. 4 or Sept. 6 that they may have been exposed to the coronavirus.

The fair was at 600 NY-17A in Tuxedo Park.

Health Commissioner Dr. Irina Gelman said she recommends that if you or your child were there to monitor for symptoms of the disease, which may include but are not limited to fever, chills, shortness of breath or difficulty breathing, fatigue, muscle or body aches, headache, new loss of taste or smell, sore throat, congestion, runny nose, nausea or vomiting or diarrhea.

Anyone experiencing symptoms indicative of COVID-19 should contact their medial provider to discuss a plan of care, she said.

Gelman said the best way to prevent the spread of the disease continues to be adhering to proper safety measure such as wearing a mask, getting vaccinated and avoiding unnecessary contact with others, as well as practicing basic personal hygiene.
