In Westchester, 92,829 people have been tested during the pandemic, with 28,970 testing positive, including 344 new cases. Since the outbreak began, 1,031 Westchester residents have died, 25 more than 24 hours ago.

While the cases and deaths continue to climb, Latimer said that they’re seeing fewer cases, and are have 1,000 fewer active COVID-19 cases than a week or two ago. He noted that they continue to ramp up testing throughout the county, though approximately two-thirds have been testing negative for the virus.

“That’s a good sign,” he said. “You can look at the percentage of negative (cases) and see the reduction in hospitalizations and active cases. These are all positive statistics that show we’ve been flattening the curve, and we’re starting to work our way down the backside of that curve.”

Latimer said that with downstate New York coming out the other side of the COVID-19 outbreak, they are looking to work regionally with Nassau and Suffolk counties to come up with a plan to reopen the economies of New York City’s nearest suburbs.

“New York City is unique unto itself due to the high density of the four boroughs and Staten Island,” he said. “We want to look at the suburban standard, so we’re going to be linked to Nassau County and Suffolk County, we’re not considered upstate.”
