Governor Andrew M. Cuomo announced today that COVID-19 hospitalizations in New York State have dropped to 5,626, the lowest since Dec. 12. The one-day positivity rate has dropped to 2.82 percent, the lowest since November 21, and the 7-day average positivity rate has dropped to 3.22 percent, the lowest since November 26.
“Defeating COVID-19 is at the forefront of New York State, and declining positivity rates and hospitalizations are helping us vaccinate more New Yorkers, reopen the economy, and emerge at the end of the tunnel.” Governor Cuomo said. “The resilience and willingness of New Yorkers to abide by the rules has made us rise through spring and the holidays, and that brings us through the winter. We vaccinate New Yorkers on a fast track and expand our network of distribution sites so out as fast as we can, but we will need more vaccines to address a large enough section of the population to defeat this pandemic once and for all.I’m confident we’ll get there, but in the meantime, New Yorkers “socializing. distancing, wearing masks and washing hands. We wear masks not only to protect ourselves but to protect each other, and that spirit will get us through the coming months as we work to defeat the COVID animal.”
