All eight partygoers responded to the subpoenas, avoiding possible fines of $2,000 per day from Rockland County, New York the first known county in the state to resort to legal action amid this health emergency.

Although Day said the health department is identifiable by caller ID, he said the eight partygoers still did not answer calls. Those not cooperating could be suspicious of authority or afraid of being in trouble, he said."We want to explain to folks we speak to that we're not looking at being in trouble," said Day."We're just looking to know where you were so we can help out other people who we don't want to see get sick.

In some cases, attendees had their parents answer the phone to vouch for their child's whereabouts on the day of the party. Some partygoers are suspected to have attended other sizable parties in the area. “Large gatherings remain an issue,” Ruppert said. “The risk of transmission of the virus is high and very real.”, with 668 deaths, as of Thursday night. The county has the highest percentage of daily positive tests of all seven counties in New York's Mid-Hudson region.

"They were not answering the questions of our contact tracers," John Lyon, spokesman for the Rockland County Executive Office, told USA TODAY. "It's a very important part of this process so we can notify people and they can quarantine as a precaution so they don't spread this to other people beyond that immediate circle."

The county also used subpoenas during a measles outbreak last year and found success in tracing the outbreak, leading to a countywide vaccination mandate for the disease, officials said.

coronavirus community spread causes no more harm than The Flu. There's no Health Emergency in The General Public. The disaster is at hospitals; owed to malfeasance by this industry which buys and owns American politicians using Healthcare $$. Taiwan doesn't test asymptomatic.

What I can't understand is: There is something they are using to identify the corona virus, Right ? ! ? Why can't this something be introduced into a skin patch. That way you wouldn't need a piece of paper that says you are NOT positive, you could SEE it ! !
