COVID-19 cases countywide have dropped to about 2%, with a single new case on Shelter Island, Police Chief Jim Read told the Town Board at Tuesday’s work session. He said hospitalizations have also followed the same declining trend.
Wednesday, those who received a first Pfizer inoculation three weeks ago were due to receive their second shot.
The requests for vaccinations have declined, Supervisor Gerry Siller said, explaining why he declined the offer of a third inoculation event at Shelter Island School. To date, there have been 40,000 people on the East End who received vaccinations through Stony Brook Southampton and Stony Brook Eastern Long Island hospitals.
