A cluster of coronavirus cases has been linked to an early voting site on New York’s Long Island, according to a local executive.The cluster, which occurred at a Suffolk County polling site, has led to at least 10 confirmed COVID-19 cases, six of which have occurred among poll workers.
An additional 48 contacts are under quarantine in relation to the cluster, Suffolk County Executive Steve Bellone said in a Facebook update on Wednesday.
A report released by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) several weeks before Election Day called for stronger mitigation at the polls after an analysis of a Delaware primary found that only 54% of poll workers said voters were wearing masks correctly.
