Nassau County Executive Laura Curran has issued the following statement on the ongoung COVID-19 pandemic:
“Today I’m delighted to report that there have been 0 recorded COVID-19 deaths in Nassau County over the past 7 days. This is a major milestone in our County’s recovery from a once-in-a-lifetime crisis, and I want to thank our residents for the hard work and sacrifice that got us to this point. Our hearts remain with the loved ones of the precious lives we’ve lost to COVID-19.
Nassau’s outstanding progress is being driven by a key factor: 74% of adult residents (18+) in Nassau County have received at least one vaccine dose. I'm proud that Nassau has the highest adult vaccination rate among all New York State counties with a population greater than 100,000.
Our high vaccination rate means lives saved, a stronger economic recovery, and a return to the things we love but missed out on due to Covid. It also means Nassau is ready for normal. I continue to make the case with NY State that Nassau County's extraordinary vaccination rate calls for a more significant roll-back of pandemic restrictions — especially for children negatively affected by current mandates.”
