Governor Kathy Hochul has updated New Yorkers on the state's progress combating COVID-19.
"I'm proud of the work New Yorkers have been putting in to keep the numbers down and protect our vulnerable loved ones," Governor Hochul said. "While we are continuing to see promising trends, we are not through the winter surge yet and it is critical that we continue to use the tools that will help stop the spread. Our best weapon is the vaccine, so if you haven't, get your shot today and make sure you get your second dose and booster as well."
