As the county enters its third month combating COVID-19, Latimer said that there have been a total of 29,323 positive cases of the 99,442 Westchester residents tested.

Of those cases, there have been 1,049 residents who died from the virus since the outbreak began in New Rochelle in early March.

There are currently 6,756 active cases in Westchester, which is down from 8,000 cases approximately a month ago, and more than 11,000 at the peak of the outbreak.

Latimer said that at the outset of the pandemic, many were worried about overwhelming the healthcare system, but hospitalization rates have held steady between 10 percent and 11 percent.

“Westchester was the first (positive case in the area) … and while we’re not the worst, there’s still a mindset that people look at Westchester and just say, that’s where it began. That’s the perception,” Latimer said. “The numbers we’ve seen continue to show encouraging trends in Westchester, and the statewide analysis is equally encouraging.”
