See the latest vaccine data: on.nyc.gov/vaccinedata
🔹170 people were admitted to NYC hospitals with COVID-like symptoms on April 7, and 67% were positive for COVID-19.
🔹The rate of admissions was 3.42 per 100,000 people on April 7. We want to be below 2 per 100,000 people.
🔹Our case numbers continue to be an area of concern. The seven-day average for newly reported cases is 2,834 as of April 7.
As most recent data are incomplete, more cases will be added to these days going forward. Track the numbers here: on.nyc.gov/covid19goals
🔹Of people tested, 6.17% of people tested positive as of April 7.
If you haven’t been vaccinated, get tested for COVID-19 often. Even if you have been vaccinated, get tested right away if you have symptoms.
My prescription for New Yorkers:
☑️ Get vaccinated: nyc.gov/vaccinefinder
☑️ Help older adults in your life get a vaccine. Walk-ins are available for NYers 75+ & an escort at these sites: on.nyc.gov/3wB5HJ7
☑️Try double masking for more protection: on.nyc.gov/coronavirus
