State health officials in New York are warning of expanding “community spread” of the polio virus after it was found in wastewater samples from another upstate county. The state Department of Health said Friday the polio virus was detected in four samples from Sullivan County, two each in July and August. Sullivan County is several dozen miles northwest of Rockland County, where officials on July 21 announced the first case of polio in the United States in nearly a decade. The unidentified young adult was unvaccinated. The Sullivan County samples are genetically-linked to the case of paralytic polio in Rockland County. State Health Commissioner Dr. Mary T.

A swastika was found scrawled on a hiking trail used by many Orthodox Jews in Rockland County. The hate symbol was found on a trail at Kakiat Park, just outside of Monsey, NY. County Executive Ed Day sent the following statement to YWN: “On Tuesday, my office was alerted to anti-Semitic graffiti found in Kakiat Park along the Mahwah River. The Rockland County Sheriff’s Office and Division of Environmental Resources were immediately notified and took swift action to investigate and cover up the symbol, because lack of visibility does not diminish the hate behind the message.

New York state health officials issued a more urgent call Thursday for unvaccinated children and adults to get inoculated against polio, citing new evidence of possible “community spread” of the dangerous virus. The polio virus has now been found in seven different wastewater samples in two adjacent counties north of New York City, health officials said. So far, only one person has tested positive for polio — an unvaccinated adult in Rockland County who suffered paralysis. But based on earlier polio outbreaks, “New Yorkers should know that for every one case of paralytic polio observed, there may be hundreds of other people infected,” the state’s health commissioner, Dr. Mary T. Bassett, said in a statement.
