During his daily COVID-19 briefing on Wednesday, May 6 at the Lenoir Preserve in Yonkers, County Executive George Latimer said that with the county taking over COVID-19 testing in nursing homes, there could be an increase in the numbers.

“As of Monday (May 4), we can test for COVID inside nursing homes, and now that the county has a direct role in doing testing, we’d expect the numbers to jump up,” he said. “We’ve been seeing a steady decline in active cases, but we’re anticipating that the number of cases and fatalities could see a potential spike.” 

The New York State Department of Health said that 101,497 Westchester residents have been tested for COVID-19 - approximately 10 percent of the population - with 30,240 testing positive for the virus. Since the outbreak began in early March, 1,116 Westchester residents have died from COVID-19.
