GOVERNOR CUOMO UPDATES NEW YORKERS ON STATE’S PROGRESS DURING COVID-19 PANDEMIC
8,590 Patient Hospitalizations Statewide
1,392 Patients in the ICU; 851 Intubated
Statewide Positivity Rate is 8.31%
149 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.
“Defeating this beast once and for all means winning the footrace between vaccine implementation and the infection and hospital capacity rates,” Governor Cuomo said. “New York is doing everything it can to not only ensure that the vaccine is being distributed as quickly and fairly as possible, but to also ensure we are prepared for widespread vaccinations of the general public once they are eligible. The issue here is the UK strain is highly problematic, and it could be a game-changer. Even if the lethality doesn’t go up, the fact that it is so much more transmittable is a very real problem and makes it as important as ever that New Yorkers stay smart. Remember – behavior matters and the behavior of your community drives how fast the infection spreads and how many people get sick. So, let’s stay tough, stay united, and collectively do what it takes to defeat this invisible enemy.”
