New York City continues to emerge from the coronavirus pandemic with promising new numbers, including zero deaths and a .83% positivity rate that is the lowest level since the start of COVID testing. "You know the phrase, what have you done for me lately?" Mayor Bill de Blasio said. "I'll tell you what vaccinations have done for us. We have the lowest positivity rate we've ever had since this crisis began because people got vaccinated. It couldn't be clearer. Let's keep going." Governor Andrew Cuomo said there were eight deaths reported in New York state Monday, but none of them were in New York City. The state positivity rate has dropped to .77%.
