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

"As we expected, we have found three additional cases of the omicron variant in New York State. Now is the time to get your flu shot, get vaccinated, and if you're fully vaccinated, get your booster if you haven't already," Governor Hochul said. "As we begin to add a layer of clothing to stay warm from the cold weather, getting your booster will give you the gift of an added layer of protection against severe illness from COVID-19.
