Could New York Governor Andrew Cuomo soon put a vaccine mandate in place? According to the Hudson Valley Post, on Monday, August 2, 2021, he said,
Everybody is talking about mask policies right now, but I don't believe a mask policy is going to be enough - we need to talk about a vaccination policy.
Although more than 70 percent of the people in the state have received at least one vaccine dose, with the rapid spread of the Delta variant of COVID-19, it's looking like more drastic measures could be enacted.
Here in Western New York, our 7-day average for positive test results as of Sunday, August 1, 2021 numbers are 3.19 percent. That's up .10 percent from Friday, July 30, 2021, which was 3.09 percent, according to the Governor's website.
