St. James Hospital/UR Medicine Implements New Directives in Response
to COVID-19 Pandemic
March 25, 2020…In light of the growing number of confirmed COVID-19 cases, St. James Hospital has implemented new directives as recommended by UR Medicine and New York State Department of Health. The hospital also developed a surge plan to address and prepare for the potential increase of COVID-19 patients.
“We are taking every measure possible to minimize exposure to our patients and staff,” said Bilal Ahmed, M.D., St. James Hospital chief medical officer.
Dr. Ahmed reminds the public to continue to follow the recommended safety guidelines: frequent hand washing, cough/sneeze into a tissue or inside of your elbow, social distancing, and self-quarantine for mild symptoms. He emphasizes that patients with mild respiratory symptoms should not come to the emergency department or urgent care to ask for COVID-19 testing.
“If anyone thinks they might have been exposed to Coronavirus/COVID-19 before visiting your provider’s office, Urgent Care, or the Emergency Room, call the UR Medicine COVID-19 support line at 1-888-928-0011 or your health care provider. You can also contact the NYS Department of Health (888-364-3065) to determine next steps,” he said. “Patients with serious symptoms are encouraged to seek a higher level of care at the emergency department.”
Bryan O’Donovan, St. James president and CEO, commends his team for their efforts.
“Everyone at St. James Hospital is doing an extraordinary job of responding to this rapidly evolving situation, and we are so grateful for their efforts to keep patients and staff safe. We would also like to thank the community for following social distancing guidelines and for the tremendous number of phone calls and social media posts supporting our hospital and our team members during these challenges times.”

If taxpayers owe additional tax to the IRS, you have to July 15, 2020 to pay and there will be no penalty or interest added to the balance. Interest and penalty will accrue if not paid in full by July 15, 2020
Update New York State as of 3/26 HAS extended the tax deadline to July 15, 2020

St. James Hospital/UR Medicine Continues to Monitor
and Respond to COVID-19 Pandemic
March 21, 2020…In light of confirmation that two Steuben County residents have tested positive for COVID-19, officials at UR Medicine/St. James Hospital continue to monitor and provide guidance to protect the community.
“Everything we are doing is geared toward keeping our staff and patients safe,” said Bilal Ahmed, M.D., St. James Hospital chief medical officer. “We have implemented a no-visitors policy, with the exception of one visitor for pediatric patients or special circumstances, and are rescheduling all non-essential outpatient clinic appointments and surgeries. This will help ensure that our local health system has the staff and resources it needs to care for all patients.”
Dr. Ahmed emphasizes that patients with mild respiratory symptoms should not come to the emergency department or urgent care to ask for COVID-19 testing. Patients with serious symptoms are encouraged to seek a higher level of care at the emergency department.
“If anyone thinks they might have been exposed to Coronavirus/COVID-19 they should call their primary care physician or the NYS Department of Health (888-364-3065) to determine next steps,” he said.
“There is a nationwide shortage of test kits and the reagents to conduct the tests, so given the limited supply we are only testing patients who have severe symptoms,” stated Bryan O’Donovan, St. James Hospital president and CEO.
Due to the visitor restrictions and COVID-19 guidelines, St. James is also limiting access to its two buildings on Seneca Road, and all patients and staff will go through screening questions at the medical office building and at the hospital main entrance.
“Patients coming to the medical office building for appointments should use entrances B and C only,” said O’Donovan. “We also want to remind people to self-quarantine if they have mild symptoms, practice social distancing to avoid unnecessary contact, and follow good hand hygiene.”

A Message from State Comptroller DiNapoli on the Coronavirus Public Health Emergency
The coronavirus has disrupted our daily lives in ways large and small. New Yorkers continue to follow the latest updates on its impact and the precautions necessary to protect ourselves, our loved ones, and our communities against the virus.
Circumstances and information about the virus change on a daily basis, but it is imperative that we continue to fund the services and programs all New Yorkers rely on. That’s why my office has been at work assessing the coronavirus’ financial implications for the state budget.
This week, my office presented to the Governor, as he requested, an estimate of how the coronavirus is impacting tax revenues. We estimate that revenues could be $4 billion below the projections of the Executive Budget. We cannot rule out a more severe recession, however, or additional stock market declines, which could lower the outlook for tax revenues significantly more.
We have entered a new economic reality. No one knows how long the situation will last, but we must prepare to meet the financial challenges it poses for New York right now and in the future. We will need to maintain our vigilance over the state’s fiscal health just as we do over public health.
The state’s pension fund also faces challenges. Financial markets remain in turmoil as we near March 31, when we calculate the fund’s year end value. Fortunately, our state’s retirement system is well-funded. I want to assure the more than one million men and women, who rely on the state pension fund for retirement security, that we are well-positioned to weather the ongoing volatility. To our retirees, your pensions are safe and we will continue to pay your benefits as promised.
We take a conservative approach to investing, focused on sustained, long-term results. For some time, we’ve been making adjustments in expectation of a downturn in the economy. We’re actively managing through these difficult times and are confident the markets will ultimately recover.
My staff continues to carry out the office’s responsibilities. We are expediting contracts and payments to ensure that purchases of emergency equipment and services can get to where they are needed quickly.
New Yorkers have a reputation for strength in times of crisis and that resilience has been on display in the last few weeks. The number of coronavirus cases may grow, but the better we all are at reducing opportunities for the coronavirus to spread, the sooner we will put it, and the changes it has forced into our lives, behind us.
