“Certainly no fault that we’re placing on the facility at all,” Wheeler said. “It's just more of a clearing up of those communication lines."

County Manager Jack Wheeler and Steuben Public Health Director Darlene Smith announced an uptick in cases at the nursing home Tuesday afternoon.

Gov. Andrew Cuomo said 367 people died from the virus Saturday — less than half of the daily number at the height of the outbreak.
