During his daily COVID-19 briefing in White Plains on Tuesday, May 12, Latimer said that nearly 113,000 Westchester residents - more than 11 percent of the population - have been tested for the virus, with only 28 percent testing positive for COVID-19.

There have been 31,472 positive COVID-19 cases in the county since the outbreak began in early March, according to the New York State Department of Health, resulting in the death of 1,238 Westchester residents.

Latimer said that the county has ramped up antibody testing, with more than 2,000 tests administered since testing began on Monday, May 4. He made note that additional testing facilities were opened up by Northern Westchester Hospital in Mount Kisco and Chappaqua Crossing.

“We’re targeting first responders in Westchester County government, and local governments across the county,” he said. “This tells us who had the virus in their system, fought it off, and now have antibodies that are resistant to COVID.”
