The latest numbers are slightly down from recent upticks in the number of positive cases confirmed.

In Westchester, the daily positive COVID-19 infection rate for those tested has jumped from 1.4 percent to 2.5 percent in the past week, though the rest of the country has seen drastically more dramatic spikes in new cases.

In the past week, the average rolling infection rate in those tested for COVID-19 in Westchester has risen to 2 percent of all those tested, with the 14-day average reaching 1.8 percent.

There were two new COVID-19-related deaths, as the total jumped to 1,475 in Westchester since March.

According to the Department of Health, the statewide positivity rate in the “micro-clusters” has risen to 3.16 percent, while outside of those highly concentrated COVID-19 hotspots is at 1.84 percent, outpacing the numbers the state put up over the summer as New York sought to “flatten the curve.”
