NYC is preparing to change its COVID alert level for the second time this month. Here’s what an upgrade to “high” alert means for you and what to know about mask protocol going forward.
Statewide, the COVID picture is adhering to a similar trend.
In terms of statewide hospitalizations, those are up to 2,373 total as of Gov. Kathy Hochul's most recent update, nearly doubling in the last month. Still, that total is mercifully well below the 12,452 hospitalized across New York in January -- and a fraction of the nearly 19,000 admitted at the hospitalization peak in April 2020.
These, elected and public health officials say, are reasons to stay vigilant but not cause for panic. That's especially true given the breadth of tools available, they add.
