At his daily COVID-19 briefing, Westchester County Executive George Latimer said that the hospitalization rate and fatality rate continue to drop, though one of the deaths was a young boy.

Latimer said there were 200 new positive COVID-19 cases in the county, bringing the total to 30,905, though active cases are down to 4,272. Since the outbreak began, 26,633 patients have been treated and discharged from Westchester hospitals.

The four new deaths bring the total to 1,191 Westchester residents.

"The notable element of the (number of deaths) is that it's only four individuals more than it was the night before," Latimer said. "Any number is a tragedy, but it's important to note that it's the smallest number of deaths we've had overnight since we began losing individuals.

"To be at four deaths overnight is a tremendous drop off from what we've seen," he added. "So that's good news considering the volume. Now we're just waiting for the day when there are no new deaths overnight."
