Governor Cuomo is expressing concern about clusters of coronavirus cases in New York State. The state’s infection rate is now one and a half percent but Cuomo says that’s in large part due to a few areas of Brooklyn and Orange and Rockland counties.
Cuomo says the 10 zip codes with the worst coronavirus infection rate don’t even make up three percent of the state’s population but represent a quarter of the cases.
“Key with these clusters is to jump on them quickly, attack them from all sides. Get the testing so you can do contact tracing and you can isolate. Get mask compliance up.”
Cuomo is deploying rapid result coronavirus testing machines to local governments and schools to areas of concern.
