acerbone@adirondackdailyenterprise.com SARANAC LAKE The Saranac Lake village board has declared today as a COVID-19 Memorial Day, a day to commemorate those who died during the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. This follows a grassroots nationwide movement to make March 1 a national day of remembrance. It has been around a year since the pandemic first took hold in the U.S. as it spread around the globe, and in that time the virus has claimed the lives of more than 500,000 in this country alone. This huge loss of human life has led several activist groups to seek a specific day to collectively mourn the dead and reflect on the loss.

The agency said Thursday that two program participants and two staff members tested positive for the coronavirus at the group residences.
Mountain Lake Services Executive Director Jack Mudge said the organization, which supports people with intellectual and developmental disabilities throughout Essex County, âhas been working diligently to thwart the spread of COVID-19 among the population it serves.â
Despite their precautions, on Dec. 15, residents and workers began displaying symptoms of the coronavirus at homes operated by the agency in which people with disabilities live and are cared for by direct-service professionals working for Mountain Lake Services.
