New York state’s COVID-19 positivity rate is below three-percent.

The positivity rate in the Mohawk Valley was 1.7 percent, down from 4.6 percent on Friday.

This is not an Upstate or downstate issue—all New Yorkers, regardless of where they live, have cause for concern," Cuomo said. "We are continuing to use a comprehensive micro-cluster strategy and increase our testing capacity to new heights. However, our success also depends on the vigilance and smart behavior of New Yorkers.
