2. Hochul: More than 5,000 new COVID cases reported statewide

Gov. Kathy Hochul says the fight against the pandemic is not yet over, as 5,030 new statewide cases and 28 new COVID-19 deaths were announced Saturday.

Statewide, 2,359 patients are hospitalized with COVID-19, with 298 patients in the ICU and 532 in ICU with intubation.

"We continue to keep a close eye on the numbers, and while we know we've come a long way in beating back the virus and getting a good number of New Yorkers vaccinated, our work is not yet done, my friends," Hochul said in a statement. "COVID is still out there, and we cannot get complacent because we all know what it's capable of. If you still need to get vaccinated, it's imperative that you do so as soon as possible because your safety and the safety of others is on the line."   

New York reached a vaccine milestone this past Thursday, as Hochul announced that 80.0% of adult New Yorkers have received at least one vaccine dose, according to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention data.
