SARATOGA COUNTY, N.Y. â When the clock struck midnight and 2020 began last January, the New Year kicked off with people making goals and having high hopes for the year ahead.
However, that all changed on March 7, when Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced the first two positive Novel Coronavirus cases in Saratoga County. From that day on, cases throughout the state and the Capital Region continued to rise.
