ALBANY, N.Y. (WTEN) — The governor’s office Sunday updated New Yorkers on the state’s progress combatting COVID-19.  

“Our comeback is a testament to our resilience, but the reality is the Delta variant continues to be a serious threat, especially for the people who are still unvaccinated,” Cuomo said. “The best way to protect ourselves and the progress we’ve made against COVID is for everyone to take the vaccine as soon as possible. If you still need to get your shot, you can do so at any vaccination site in the state – with no fees and no questions asked.”
