New York’s seven-day overall COVID-19 positivity rate has diminished to 0.71% after the city offered a series of incentives for New Yorkers to get vaccinated against COVID-19.
1,335 patient hospitalizations statewide; lowest hospitalizations since November 5.
315 patients in the ICU lowest since November 11; 194 intubated lowest since November 17.
Statewide Positivity Rate is 0.77%.
Statewide 7-Day Average is 0.92%; Lowest 7-Day Average Since September 23: 48 continuous days of decline.
There were sadly 12 new Covid-19 deaths in New York. New Yorkers are fighting COVID-19 on all fronts across this great state, and as more people get vaccinated, our numbers continue to come down, Governor Cuomo said. New Yorkers are ready for the new normal, and we ve relaxed many restrictions that were put into place to protect the public health and adopted new CDC guidelines. Continuing to successfully get more New Yorkers vaccinated is going to make or break the state s COVID-19 response, and we need everyone who has not yet taken the shot to make an appointment or simply walk into a site today.
