 Governor Kathy Hochul today updated New Yorkers on the state's progress combating COVID-19.

"With the emergence of the new Omicron COVID-19 variant, it is crucial that we continue to use the tools that we know help prevent the spread of this deadly virus: wear masks indoors, wash our hands, and utilize the greatest weapon we have to keep ourselves safe - the vaccine," Governor Hochul said. "The vaccine is safe, effective, and free. It's readily available statewide. If you haven't gotten yours yet, get it as soon as you can. If you're in need of your second dose or your booster, you can get those for no cost, too. Take every precaution you can to keep yourself and your loved ones safe this winter."
