Westchester County Executive Latimer said earlier this week that Westchester officials are also working with state health officials to link their COVID-19 reporting systems to provide new data for local residents and municipalities.
"This would allow us to bring additional statistics and additional information that can be shared with local officials, who have worked off what information we could give them based on the information we've been receiving.
"But if we can grow that framework, then they can share that information with (residents) so you can have an idea what's going on in your backyard, not just by municipality but down to your own zip code."
In the latest data released by the state Department of Health, 203,440 COVID-19 tests were administered in New York on Wednesday, Dec. 2 with 9,855 testing positive for the virus.
