Coronavirus Clusters Cause Uptick in N.Y.C. Positivity Rate
Mayor Bill de Blasio of New York reported a slight uptick in the city’s seven-day coronavirus positivity rate, to 1.46 percent, and said nearly 1,000 city employees would be deployed to curb outbreaks in nine target ZIP codes.
Percentage of people testing positive, citywide, for Covid — threshold of five percent — again, this the citywide number. Today’s report 0.94 percent. And we are now also going be talking about the seven-day rolling average. So you have that perspective. Today, the seven-day rolling average number is 1.46 percent, so that’s the citywide picture. This is the first of probably several times. I will say today, it is so important for everyone to go out and get tested. We need to get a very clear picture of what is happening around the city. We need to get a very clear picture what’s happening in these nine key ZIP codes, and several others we’re concerned about. Four hundred-plus police officers will be out in these communities providing information, providing free masks, reminding people that they are required to wear masks, and obviously in the case where there is noncompliance, issuing summonses — 400 from the N.Y.P.D., 250 compliance officers from other city agencies, and approximately 300 members of the test and trace course. Almost 1,000 city employees will be out in these targeted ZIP codes doing distribution of mass information, and, when necessary, compliance.
