New York is reporting an uptick in COVID cases and hospital admissions as of late: The state’s Department of Health released a report stating that hospital admissions increased 22% week over week, averaging more than 100 admissions per day

“As we once again see an increase in cases of COVID-19 in the State, I urge all New Yorkers to remember COVID is a treatable disease,” New York Health Commissioner Dr. James McDonald said. “COVID tests are easy to use as well as highly accurate. If you test positive, speak with a health care provider about treatment, which can prevent hospitalization and death."

While health officials said there are currently no concerns with hospital bed capacity, they do urge New Yorkers to exercise caution. And even though levels are nowhere near peak levels they were during the pandemic, health officials urged those who are at higher risk for infection to take precautions.
