NEW YORK (1010 WINS) -- Governor Andrew Cuomo on Tuesday announced that New York's 7-day average COVID-19 positivity rate has dropped to 4.38 percent, its lowest since December 1.
"Our post-holiday surge reduction is continuing, and that is the direct result of the toughness of New Yorkers who have sacrificed and done what is needed to beat back this invisible enemy," he said. "Our infection rate is the lowest it has been since December 1, so we're back to where we started on the holiday surge."
The governor also noted that there are currently 7,875 patient hospitalizations statewide, 1,412 patients in the ICU, and 138 COVID-19 deaths were reported statewide yesterday.
