ALBANY, N.Y. — The number of New Yorkers hospitalized with COVID-19 is falling fast, dropping by 25% from last week alone, Gov. Hochul announced on Tuesday.
The governor provided a brief update on the state’s fight against the coronavirus during an appearance at the State Fairgrounds in Syracuse, used as a testing and vaccination site throughout the pandemic
“This is a huge barometer of how we’re doing, and we’re still dropping, thank God, from the peak we were at two weeks ago,” Hochul said, noting that earlier this month, there were nearly 13,000 people hospitalized with the virus.
