Walk-Up Clinic Friday – 3 New COVID-19 Positives in Rye; 2,255 Deaths in Westchester – Thursday, April 29, 2021
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 daily COVID-19 counts for Rye and Westchester County for the foreseeable future.
For Thursday, April 29, 2021, Westchester reported the following City of Rye numbers via the County COVID dashboard.
1,427 total COVID-19 cases since inception;
40 active COVID-19 cases (this assumes the remaining 1,387 have run the average two week contagion cycle and are no longer active);
3 new COVID-19 cases
