According to Governor Kathy Hochul, “More than 9,000 New Yorkers are now hospitalized with COVID-19, surpassing the levels of January 2021’s peak surge and reaching levels not seen since May 2020 as omicron’s infectiousness continues to envelop the Empire State at a rapid pace.” “Those numbers are going to be much higher tomorrow. They didn’t go from, really, 90,000 to 51,000. That is simply a function of people not getting tested over the weekend,” Hochul said. “This is not the wave we saw last year, where it kept just going up and up. It’s just going straight up.”
