Additional Cases of UK Variant in Westchester and Kings Counties, Brings Total Cases to 25
8,846 Patient Hospitalizations Statewide
1,546 Patients in the ICU; 992 Intubated
Statewide Positivity Rate is 5.65%
165 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. Three additional cases of the UK variant were identified in Westchester and Kings Counties. To date, there are 25 known cases of the variant in New York State
"We are in a war with COVID and as I've said time and again, winning this war will mean winning the footrace between how fast the infection rate goes up and how fast we can vaccinate New Yorkers," Governor Cuomo said. "Positivity and hospitalizations are both down, which is good news, but it in no way means we're out of the woods. What's concerning now is the emergence of three new frightening strains of the virus which could send those numbers back in the other direction. As we have done throughout this crisis, we will continue to monitor these strains closely, follow the science, and continue our work to vaccinate New Yorkers as quickly and fairly as possible."
