"While Omicron has done its best to stop our recovery in its tracks, New Yorkers haven't let up and we continue to see a steady decline in our hospitalizations and cases," Governor Hochul said. "The progress we've made is a strong indication that we have the tools - vaccines, boosters, tests and masks - to keep our communities safe, and our schools, businesses and economy open. The vaccine and booster are also critical to protecting our children's health against COVID-19, and we reached an important milestone today with 80% of 12-17 year olds in New York receiving at least one dose. Let's continue to use these tools and make sure we keep our children healthy."
