New York hospitals are currently treating 2,550 patients for COVID-19; among the 224 patients currently being treated in intensive care units, 81 are intubated.
The state reported 4,770 new confirmed COVID-19 cases, bringing the cumulative statewide total to 5,812,159. The county with the highest number of new COVID-19 cases was Queens (n = 803). Overall, Queens County also had the highest cumulative number of cases (n = 803,821). An additional 60,388 COVID-19 diagnostic tests were reported on August 01, 2022, bringing the cumulative number of diagnostic tests performed to 116,413,913 statewide. The county with the highest number of new diagnostic tests was Kings (n = 10,513). The county with the highest cumulative number of diagnostic tests performed was also Kings (n = 17,482,111). Among all of the diagnostic tests reported thus far, statewide, 4.99% tested positive.
One proxy measure of adherence to social distancing guidelines is population mobility. Lower levels of mobility in public locations, and higher levels in residential locations suggests greater adherence. Mobility data from Google location histories indicate that on December 31, 2020, compared to a baseline on February 15, 2020, people in New York State spent 22% less time in retail and recreational settings (e.g., restaurants, shopping centers, libraries), 13% more time in grocery and pharmacy settings (e.g., grocery stores, food warehouses, farmers markets, and pharmacies), 29% less time in parks (e.g., local parks, public beaches, plazas, and public gardens), 53% less time in transit stations (e.g., subway stations, bus stops, train stations), 51% less time in workplaces, and 16% more time in residential settings. Mobility data from Apple devices in New York City indicate that on April 12, 2022, New Yorkers were walking 64% more, driving 63% more, and riding transit 46% more, compared to baseline levels on January 13, 2020.
In addition to its impact on health and safety, COVID-19 has also disruptively impacted New York’s economy. The necessary implementation of social distancing has, directly and indirectly, caused many businesses to reduce or suspend operations. Open data reports that the statewide unemployment rate for June 2022 was 4.4%, an increase over the prior month’s unemployment rate of 4.1% in May 2022. New York State received 55,012 initial unemployment insurance claims in June 2022, an increase over the 54,300 initial claims received during May 2022.
