Albany, N.Y. - Governor Hochul is taking action to try and prevent the spread of coronavirus in nursing homes and adult care facilities.
The governor says that COVID-19 booster shots must be made available to all residents. There are concerns that the number of COVID-19 cases will surge again statewide during the winter months and the governor says every vulnerable New Yorker needs to be protected. Hochul also says officials are keeping a very close eye on the new omicron variant of COVID-19 which was recently identified by scientists.
