The number of active COVID-19 cases in Westchester continues to drop, an "encouraging sign," according to County Executive George Latimer, though the total number of fatalities has topped 2,000 for the entire near year-long pandemic.
The Westchester Department of Health was reporting 527 new COVID-19 cases out of 14,518 tests administered throughout the county on Wednesday, Feb. 10, as the number of newly reported infections continues dwindling.
There are now 7,567 active COVID-19 cases in Westchester, down from 9,343 last week and nearly 12,000 two weeks ago.
Latimer touted the county's 4.6 percent positive infection rate on Wednesday after seeing it peak over 10 percent following spikes after Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year's.
