Here’s where we are:
Nassau's 7 day COVID-19 positivity rate is 4.8%.
COVID-19 hospitalizations have increased by 285% over the past 30 days.
To save lives and prevent further restrictions on restaurants and other businesses, we must do everything we can to hold the line.

Right now hospital capacity is not a pressing threat in Nassau County, but the trend is heading in the wrong direction.
At the peak of the pandemic, we had 2,600 patients hospitalized and 505 intubated.
As of yesterday, we have 337 hospitalized with COVID-19 and 32 intubated.
