New York state has reached new lows in COVID-19 hospitalizations, patients in an ICU and patients intubated, Governor Cuomo announced Sunday. There are 330 patients hospitalized statewide, 85 patients in an ICU and 43 patients intubated, all record lows since the start of the pandemic.
“The vaccine is the weapon that will win us the war against the COVID-19 beast. It is safe, effective, free and readily available to New Yorkers across the state. If you haven’t already, take advantage of ongoing incentive programs and get your shot today,” Governor Cuomo said. “Now is the time to do so and get back to living life the way it’s intended to be lived – fully and together.”
