COVID-19 cases on Shelter Island, which last week were reported at about 1% of the population, have dropped to about 0.8%, Police Chief Jim Read told the Town Board at Tuesday’s work session.
Islanders who have received at least one inoculation of a COVID-19 vaccine total 69.4%, according to Chief Read. He speculated that it’s likely by now to be the same number for those who have received both inoculations of the Pfizer or Moderna vaccines, and the single shot Johnson & Johnson vaccine.

The administration of the Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine at the Shelter Island Library closed out last Tuesday, with plans to provide the vaccine to those signed up prior to Tuesday afternoon.
Numbers of cases and hospitalizations remain low, with Police Chief Jim Read saying that only about 1.5 to 2% of new cases have developed countywide.
The Senior Center has resumed bus trips, taking four people at a time to the IGA to do their food shopping; the pharmacy; Post Offices; and banks. Until now, others have shopped for the seniors but for those who are able to go out, it’s an opportunity to get some fresh air and get out of their houses, Mr. Siller said.

In a former post, it was stated the Town Board at its May 7 meeting voted to opt out of permitting retail sales of marijuana. That was incorrect. The Board voted to hold a public hearing on the issue on May 28.
If the Town ops out, it could be reversed either by a Town Board vote or as a result of a referendum if enough residents petition for a public vote. A petition could put the issue to a vote in November.
The town is also holding a public hearing on banning smoking of cigarettes, marijuana or any other substance at either Crescent or Wades beaches. That concern came from members and Police Chief Jim Read, fearing complaints from families with young children if smokers on the beach were in their vicinity. To ban marijuana, they had to ban all substances that might be smoked.
