20 Million Covid-19 Test Results Reported to State
Governor Andrew M. Cuomo today announced that 20 million COVID-19 test results have been reported to New York State since the pandemic began.
"Our largest two problems right now are the 70 percent spread in households and small gatherings, aggregated by the holiday season, and lack of compliance with restrictions. It's driven by social fatigue, social resentment, social noncompliance and lack of government enforcement. If people don't follow the restrictions, you're going to see an increase," Governor Cuomo said. "There are capacity and protocol restrictions in bars, restaurants and gyms. The lack of compliance is a problem and I need the local governments to enforce those restrictions. I understand COVID fatigue and that people are resentful of these regulations, but if you don't enforce the restrictions, and if the restrictions are violated, then they're pointless. They have to be enforced. New York State has one of the nation's lowest infection rates and the vaccine—the weapon that ends the war—is on the way. The question is how long it will take."
The Governor noted that the positive testing rate in all focus areas under the state's Micro-Cluster strategy is 7.35 percent, and outside the focus zone areas is 4.79 percent. Within the focus areas, 50,367 test results were reported yesterday, yielding 3,701 positives. In the remainder of the state, not counting these focus areas, 157,930 test results were reported, yielding 7,570 positives. Full results for tests reported yesterday, the day prior, the current 7-day rolling average, and last two weeks is below:
