New vaccination sites are opening and eligibility continues to expand, but the infection rate is also a function of what we do to slow the spread," Governor Cuomo said. "Washing hands, wearing masks and socially distancing are important tools we can use to protect each other from this virus. We're going to defeat COVID and return to more fulfilling lives together, but in the meantime everyone needs to stay vigilant."
