The county reported that active COVID cases in Greenburgh reached 106 - the highest number since May 13 - but this total is still only a fraction of the second wave peak of 973 active cases back on Jan 20, 2021. So yes, cases are rising from the low point of 21 active cases in mid-June, but keep context in mind:
DEATHS: The state and county still won't give us municipal death numbers. We have to rely on the county data. Since March 16, 2021 (4 1/2 months), there have been 156 COVID deaths in the county, with residents accounting for 144 of those. That's 6% of the total COVID deaths in Westchester since the pandemic began in March 2020, which stands at 2484 for the county with 2296 being residents. Westchester County's population is 967,000.
VACCINATIONS:
It was announced today that the US has reached the Biden administration's target of 70% of Americans eligible for vaccinations having received at least one shot.
