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

"I want to thank New Yorkers for doing their part to keep cases and hospitalizations at sustained low levels across the state over the past weeks," Governor Hochul said. "We can't afford to let our guard down now. Those who have yet to get their vaccine, their second dose, or their booster shot should do so as soon as possible.
