57 COVID-19 Deaths in New York State Yesterday
Governor Andrew M. Cuomo today updated New Yorkers on the state's progress during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Hospitalizations dropped to 4,241, the lowest since December 3. The statewide positivity rate dropped to 2.79 percent, the lowest in a month. New York City's 7-day average positivity rate dropped to 3.69 percent, the lowest since December 2.
"New Yorkers have fought bravely through this intensely difficult and emotionally taxing pandemic. We're making great progress getting shots in arms across the state, but we need everyone to continue practicing safe behaviors: washing hands, wearing masks and staying socially distanced when appropriate," Governor Cuomo said. "New York continues to ramp up its vaccination program by expanding eligibility and opening new pop-up sites that bring the COVID-19 vaccine directly to the communities hit hardest by the pandemic. However, it will take a concerted effort to stay vigilant and follow the state's public health guidance to slow the spread and get us to the light at the end of the tunnel."
