NY State keeps close watch on COVID-19 infection rate and “micro-clusters”

New York Governor Andrew Cuomo on Monday said the strategy to keeping COVID numbers low in the state is to “identify micro-clusters”.  The Governor said that his office is, “obsessive about getting incoming case numbers from the hospital’s”  and added that anything around 2 percent is a micro-cluster.  The COVID-19 infection rate in New York State continues to hover around 1 percent.  New restrictions to combat rising coronavirus infections in “micro-clusters” were unveiled last week.
