On today’s WBFO Brief, hear from incoming Governor Kathy Hochul with an extended excerpt of her first remarks to the media yesterday since Governor Cuomo announced his resignation. Also, hear reporting from Albany Correspondent Karen DeWitt on Hochul’s plans regarding staffing and COVID strategy.

Also, take a look at COVID cases in Chautauqua County, and Jay Moran once again talks with former American Medical Assoc. Pres. Nancy Nielsen MD on masking, the return to school, and “an unfortunate war between politicians and public health officials” in places where COVID-19 cases are surging.
