As New Yorkers Make Preparations to Travel and Gather with Loved Ones ForEaster and Passover Holidays, Remember to Use the Toolkit: Vaccines, Boosters, Testing, and Treatment
8 COVID-19 Deaths Statewide Yesterday
Governor Kathy Hochul today updated New Yorkers on the state's progress combating COVID-19.
Important Note: Effective Monday, April 4, the federal Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) is no longer requiring testing facilities that use COVID-19 rapid antigen tests to report negative results. As a result, New York State's percent positive metric will be computed using only lab-reported PCR results. Positive antigen tests will still be reported to New York State and reporting of new daily cases and cases per 100k will continue to include both PCR and antigen tests. Due to this change and other factors, including changes in testing practices, the most reliable metric to measure virus impact on a community is the case per 100,000 data -- not percent positivity.
"As we approach the Easter and Passover holidays and we see more New Yorkers travel and gather together, let's continue to use the tools to keep each other safe and move forward through this pandemic safely," Governor Hochul said. "Make sure you get tested before you travel, and if you test positive, isolate from others and talk to your doctor about treatments. The number one way to protect yourself against COVID-19 is to get vaccinated. Second booster doses have been authorized for individuals 55 and up, so make sure to sign up for your booster today if you're eligible."
