18 COVID-19 Deaths Statewide Yesterday
Governor Andrew M. Cuomo today announced that the statewide 7-day average positivity rate dropped to 0.67 percent yesterday, a new low.
The Governor also announced that more than 19 million doses of the COVID-19 vaccine have been administered in New York State.
"We continue to make progress and we are on the verge of defeating COVID-19 for good, but it's vital that we continue to get as many shots in arms as we can," Governor Cuomo said. "We're establishing new pop-up sites across the state and are offering incentives to encourage those who haven't yet received a shot to take it. New Yorkers have fought this terrible virus every step of the way through an unimaginably difficult time, and there is a light at the end of the tunnel, but getting everyone vaccinated as soon as possible is critical to New York's future public health and economic recovery."
