Rising.
For Friday, Westchester reported five new COVID cases in Rye. Here are all the City of Rye numbers:
440 total COVID-19 cases since inception;
95 active COVID-19 cases (this assumes the remaining 345 have run the average two week contagion cycle and are no longer active);
5 new COVID-19 cases.
With the pick-up in COVID, Latimer has moved his COVID briefings to two times a week, typically Mondays and Thursdays. For whatever reason, Latimer’s second COVID briefing this week was on Friday.
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.
