BUFFALO, N.Y. (WIVB) — Health officials in Erie County issued an alert Wednesday in relation to an increase in suspected opioid deaths from March 1 to March 3.
With seven potential deaths, health officials said this indicates drugs of unusually strong potency sold on the street.
“That’s a very large number – much larger than we’ve seen in the last couple of years,” said Dr. Gale Burstein, Erie County Health Commissioner.
