WPCNR CORONAVIRUS REPORT. Based on New York State Covid Tracker and Governor Hochul Advisory. December 9, 2021 UPDATED WITH WPCNR CHART 1 PM EST;

138,694 Vaccine Doses Administered Over Last 24 Hours    

40 COVID-19 Deaths Statewide Yesterday     

6 More Omicron Cases Confirmed in NYC

WESTCHESTER NEW POSITIVES MONDAY: 395 TEST POSITIVE OF 11,350 TESTED, 3.6%. 1,146 NEW COVID CASES IN MIDHUDSON REGION.

Latest Westchester Week in Covid updated through Monday, December 6. Chart using the White Plains CitizeNetReporter Created Hospitalization Rate Formula based on the 84 hospitalizations in Westchester reported Monday by Westchester County Executive George Latimer indicates the number of new covid cases two weeks ago have been hospitalized at a 58% rate based on the 10 to 14 days it takes to get sick from Covid.

The 395 cases Monday if 58% got seriously sick, requiring hospitalization by December 20, 209 of them may be hospitalized. WPCNR acknowledges some persons get infected with covid very quickly, others take a longer time to get infected and not all testing positive get sick or are hospitalized at the same time so the formula is only approximate, and the number reported hospitalized is never a firm number.

The chart also notes that if the 395 unfortunate persons testing positive Monday December 6 infect at the same rate, 2-1/2 persons as those 158 testing positive two weeks ago this would result in 987 persons testing positive the week before Christmas.

Governor Hochul’s Report:

New Yorkers looking to schedule vaccine appointments for 5-11-year-old children are encouraged to contact their child’s pediatrician, family physician, county health departments, Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs), rural health centers, or pharmacies that may be administering the vaccine for this age group. Parents and guardians can visit vaccines.gov, text their ZIP code to 438829, or call 1-800-232-0233 to find nearby locations. Make sure that the provider offers the Pfizer-BioNTechCOVID-19 vaccine, as the other COVID-19 vaccines are not yet authorized for this age group. 

Governor Kathy Hochul Wednesday updated New Yorkers on the state’s progress combating COVID-19.    

“Let us all continue to get vaccinated, get the booster shot, and encourage our family members and fellow New Yorkers to do the same,” Governor Hochul said. “We know the tools to limit the spread and prevent serious illness from the COVID-19 virus, let’s use them. The vaccine is safe, effective, and our best hope for moving past this pandemic. We will get through this together.”
