The coronavirus in New York, by the numbers – City & State

As COVID-19 vaccination rates increased and COVID-19 cases began to decrease across New York, the need for a daily update on the states positive case numbers, hospitalizations and deaths started to feel unnecessary earlier this year.

However, as COVID-19 infections begin to increase again and omicron, a new coronavirus variant, continues to spread, keeping track of the states coronavirus numbers feels pertinent once again.

The state and city government are continuing to provide data that can help put the past, present and future of the pandemic in context. Were aggregating some key numbers here, with the caveat that state data on both COVID-19 cases and vaccinations has been called into question, both under the administration of former Gov. Andrew Cuomo and under Gov. Kathy Hochul.

These numbers were last updated on Feb. 2.
