ALBANY – New cases of COVID-19 are on the decline in the Hudson Valley. For the first time in months, the one-day total, for Wednesday, dropped below 1,000 to 848.
There were 23 new deaths reported.
“The good news is New York’s numbers continue to show progress as the holiday surge recedes,” said Governor Cuomo. “Our positivity rate has been steadily declining, and that success is a reflection of New Yorkers’ commitment to defeating this beast. We know the weapon to win the war is the vaccine and more and more needles are getting into the arms every day, but the federal supply is still not enough.”
