Daily COVID-19 Count: (10 New, 60 Active) 362 Positives in Rye; 1,502 Westchester Resident Deaths – Tuesday, November 24, 2020
Remember that Rye guy and Westchester County boss George Latimer moved his COVID-19 briefings from daily to now twice a week on Mondays and Thursdays. So no briefing on the other weekdays, but we do expect to continue to post weekday COVID-19 counts for Rye and Westchester County for the foreseeable future.
For Tuesday, November 24th, Westchester reported the following City of Rye numbers:
362 total COVID-19 cases since inception;
60 active COVID-19 cases (this assumes the remaining 302 have run the average two week contagion cycle and are no longer active);
10 new COVID-19 cases
Just like everyone else, county executives look 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.
