56 COVID-19 Deaths in New York State Yesterday

Governor Andrew M. Cuomo today announced that 45 million COVID-19 test results have now been reported to New York State.

"We've been aided throughout the state's fight with COVID-19 by the willingness of New Yorkers to play by the rules and keep themselves and their families safe, and we need them to maintain that vigilance even in light of increased vaccinations across the state," Governor Cuomo said. "Every single day, more shots go in arms and more New Yorkers are fully vaccinated, and we're continuing to expand eligibility and open new sites to get those numbers even higher. However, New Yorkers' social behavior is very important, and actions like washing hands, wearing masks and social distancing make a huge difference in our ability to slow the spread. We've made progress in this fight, but there's still a long way to go, so I urge everyone to stay vigilant."
