New York Wednesday coronavirus update

Albany, New York – On Wednesday  Governor Andrew Cuomo updated New Yorkers on the state’s progress combatting COVID-19.

“From the darkest days of the pandemic and to this day, New Yorkers showed this nation and the world that if we come together, follow the science and make the necessary sacrifices to protect one another, we can defeat COVID. We have made remarkable progress and we continue to be on a good trajectory – and we should all be proud of that,” Governor Cuomo said. “We still have one big job before us, and that is to continue making sure the vaccine is available to every New Yorker and getting more shots into people’s arms. If you still need to get vaccinated, I urge you to do so quickly.”
