Governor Andrew M. Cuomo today updated New Yorkers on the state’s progress during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
“We’re working hard every day to get New York’s infection rate down while increasing the vaccination rate, and the state is making significant progress in that ongoing footrace,” Governor Cuomo said. “But even as we gain more supply of the vaccine, grow our distribution network and get more shots in arms, New Yorkers need to stay vigilant, so that we don’t lose an inch of that progress. We’re expanding eligibility and continually extending our efforts to get the vaccine to underserved communities, and until every New Yorker is vaccinated I encourage everyone to keep washing their hands, wearing masks and social distancing as we get through this fight together.”
