New York State DOHInformation as it Relates to Our Community from New York State

As our region begins the process of reopening, New York State requires we meet seven (7) metrics before we begin our reopening process. Westchester is a part of the Mid-Hudson Region, which currently meets five of the seven metrics. Once we meet these metrics, businesses will begin to reopen in four (4) phases. In order to handle new COVID cases through this process, Westchester must maintain a contact tracing workforce (see below). NYS’s metrics are explored in more detail in Governor Cuomo’s plan for NY Forward. And if you would like to monitor Westchester’s progress across these metrics, please consult NYS’s new regional tracker: https://forward.ny.gov/regional-monitoring-dashboard

NOW HIRING: New York State Contact Tracing Initiative

Would you like to become a part of the COVID-19 Contact Tracing Initiative? New York State is now seeking to fill three types of jobs: Contact Tracers, Team Supervisors and Community Support Specialists.

  • Contact Tracers are responsible for reaching out to the contacts of anyone diagnosed with COVID-19 to assess symptoms, ensure quarantine compliance and determine social support needs.
  • Team Supervisors lead a team of 20 Contact Tracers, and one Community Support Specialist who are working remotely, using digital tools.
  • Community Support Specialists work with the team and the local health departments to address the physical/mental health, and social/human service needs of each family, especially for those who are in isolation or under quarantine.

New York State plans to hire a team of 6,400 to 17,000 staff, to support the New York State Department of Health and local health departments in performing contact tracing in communities across the state. The final number of staff will also depend on the projected total number of COVID-19 cases. More information about how to apply to be a part of the New York State Contact Tracing Team can be found on the Westchester County Health Department Coronavirus Page or visit coronavirus.health.ny.gov/get-involved-how-you-can-help to apply.
