 Governor Andrew M. Cuomo today updated New Yorkers on the state's progress combatting COVID-19.

Based on data entered into the online GISAID sequence repository, approximately 95% of recent positives in New York State are linked to the Delta variant for samples collected between August 1 and August 14, 2021.  

"New Yorkers worked tirelessly to prevent the spread of the COVID virus in their communities and we cannot afford to take any steps backward," Governor Cuomo said. "The vaccine has repeatedly been proven effective against the virus and with the ongoing spread of the Delta variant, it is crucial that you get vaccinated if you haven't already. It's free, it's available and it's effective."
