STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. – For the first time since Thanksgiving there are less than 100 patients with the coronavirus (COVID-19) at Staten Island University Hospital (SIUH), which is nothing short of a huge improvement, said CEO Dr. Brahim Ardolic.
The transition happened fairly quickly, Ardolic said, and he’s hoping it will stay that way; SIUH hasn’t seen an increase in admissions in the two weeks since the Easter and Passover holidays.

STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. Borough residents began getting vaccinated at Empire Outlets on Friday, as the borough’s second mass vaccination site opened after nearly a month-long delay.
The vaccine site, dedicated for Staten Island residents, was set to open Thursday, but was canceled last minute after inclement weather across the nation caused vaccine shipment delays.
The Empire Outlets location was first slated to open on Jan. 22, but the opening was postponed just days before due to a delayed shipment and shortage of the Moderna coronavirus (COVID-19) vaccine, the Advance/SILive.com previously reported.
