WPCNR’S GOVERNOR ANDREW CUOMO CORNAVIRUS REPORT. From the Governor’s Press Office. July 25, 2021. 4:30 PM EDT. (EDITED BY WPCNR WITH LATEST WESTCHESTER TRENDS):
“COVID-19 continues to spread in New York State and new variants are cause for concern, so it’s absolutely vital that every New Yorker who hasn’t gotten vaccinated yet does so immediately,” Governor Cuomo said. “The vaccine is available for free at a wide range of sites across the state, and you can get it today without an appointment. Getting vaccinated keeps your family, friends and community safe, so get your shot today.”
(Editor’s Inside Westchester Analysis : Westchester County Numbers on Saturday for persons testing positive continued to mount at a 1.6% Infection Rate. Yesterday, Saturday, 74 persons (1.6%) tested positive of 4,538 tested Saturday. In 7 Days from Saturday July 17 to yesterday, Saturday July 24 494 persons have tested positive, compared to 283 the previous week July 10 to July 17.
The growth in new cases is steady the last 3 weeks pointing to a combination of unvaccinated persons and the “Anything Goes” atmosphere of the July 4 holiday weekend. The first week after the holiday ended July 5, from July 5 to July 9, 111 persons tested positive. The next week, 283 and this past week, 494. New Westchester covid cases went from 111 to 777 seven times more infections in the last two weeks)
