Governor Kathy Hochul today updated New Yorkers on the state's progress combating COVID-19.
"The best way to protect ourselves and our children from getting hospitalized with COVID is with the vaccine and booster," Governor Hochul said. "As we continue to fight the winter surge, let's continue to use these tools: Get your second dose and booster when eligible, get your children vaccinated, remember to wear a mask and stay home if you're not feeling well.
