New York state’s coronavirus positivity rate dropped below 2% on Saturday to its lowest level since early November, Gov. Cuomo said. The statewide positivity rate fell to 1.79%, the lowest it’s been since Nov. 3, Cuomo said.
The state’s seven-day positivity rate also continued its decline. It fell to 2.27%, the lowest level since Nov. 9. Total hospitalizations also fell by 93 patients to 3,294, the fewest COVID-19 patients at hospitals since Nov. 27.
Our positivity rate is under 2% again today. And, over 50% of the total Nassau County population has received at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine. I’d say we’re trending in the right direction.
