For Thursday, Westchester reported the following City of Rye numbers:

201 total COVID-19 cases since inception;
2 active COVID-19 cases (this assumes the remaining 199 have run the average two week contagion cycle and are no longer active);
1 new COVID-19 cases

Rye guy and Westchester County boss George Latimer started the COVID-19 briefing with two minutes of silence in memory of George Floyd. During the briefing he discussed the opening of county pools saying the Rye Playland pool will remain closed for the season – see our earlier report.

Just like everyone else, Latimer is looking at the NY State COVID-19 tracker for county and state level statistics on the pandemic and at the NY State regional  monitoring dashboard to see our progress towards continued reopening.
