About 30 residents and staff at two Heritage nursing facilities in Chautauqua County have recently tested positive for COVID-19.

FREWSBURG A recent cluster of COVID-19 cases at an assisted living facility in Frewsburg is being addressed, its owner told The Post-Journal.
The Chautauqua County Health Department reported 35 additional cases in the hamlet’s zip code on Monday from the holiday weekend. Of the county’s 399 active cases, 49 are located in Frewsburg.
The uptick is linked to a cluster of cases at The Magnolia, an assisted living facility for “active seniors” owned by the Tanglewood Group since 2014 when it was purchased from the Sischo family, which operated it as the Frewsburg Rest Home for four decades.
Nick Ferreri, the group’s owner and president, said many of the residents in the facility have tested positive and have “very minor COVID symptoms.” Five residents that have tested negative have been isolated on the facility’s top floor.
