New York State's COVID-19 infection rate has been below 1
percent for 32 straight days. The number of new cases, percentage of tests that
were positive and many other helpful data points are always available at
forward.ny.gov.
"Individuals coming from other states continue to be a
problem, and today we're adding four more states to New York's travel advisory.
We now have 35 high-risk states in this country, which is incredible,"
Governor Cuomo said. "We're entering a new, different post-Labor Day
phase. After Labor Day, people start to get back to work, schools are opening,
activity is increasing, colleges are opening, you see traffic starting to
increase. So we have to keep that in mind as we move forward and we need to
remain vigilant and smart so that we don't backslide."
