New York’s governor announced yesterday there were new lows for COVID-19 hospitalizations, patients in ICUs and intubations – all at their lowest since mid-March. The state’s rate of positive tests has been less than 1 percent for 16 straight days, and there were no reported COVID-19 deaths the city Saturday.
COVID-19 by the numbers now, here in Rockland, we’ve got five in the hospital being examined, none confirmed with coronavirus. The state says we’ve got 14,106 reported cases, 17 more than Friday, and the Rockland Health Department confirms 674 fatalities here in the county, no change since Tuesday nearly four weeks ago.
