Coronavirus (COVID-19) Seven Hundred, Eighty-Fourth Update,
Saturday, April 30, 2022
State DOH reported that the County’s rate for one vaccine dose as of yesterday was 81.7% of the County’s total population and 89.9% of the adult population, and the County’s rate for full-vaccination was 74.2% of the total population, and for boosters was 71.4% of the eligible population. The State’s rate for one dose was 90.1% for the total population and 95.0% of adults, and the State’s rate for full-vaccination was 76.9% for the total population, and for boosters was 55.5% of the eligible population.
The State’s COVID-19 website reported that yesterday’s results for 114,246 tests Statewide were 8,169 or 7.1% positive, with the seven-day average increasing to 6.8%. The Capital Region had 5,248 tests of which 521 or 10.6% were positive, with the seven-day average decreasing to 11.0%. The County had 1,272 tests of which 148 or 11.8% were positive, with the seven-day average decreasing to 11.2%.
State DOH also reported that the State’s positive rate for tests yesterday (6.33%), hospitalizations (1,868, 0), new COVID-19 hospital admissions (346), ICU patients (199, +3), intubations (68, +2), and deaths (11).
The CDC is reporting that, during the more than two-year pandemic, 57.7% of all Americans have had a least one COVID-19 infection, including 75.2% of children 11 years and younger, 74.2% for children between 12 and 17 years, 63.7% of persons between 18 and 49 years, 49.8% of persons 50 to 64 years, and 33.2% of persons 65 years and older. This growing immunity, coupled with vaccinations, is leading experts to conclude that, while infection rates are markedly increasing, hospitalizations are thankfully lagging for now.
As previously noted, registration for the 2022 Summer Camp program is setting records. There are still slots open for the day camp which will run this year from June 17 to August 15 and will allow for one-week long registrations, except for a required two-week commitment for swim lessons. The online digital brochure describes nearly 100 sporting activities, swim lessons, day camps, hobbies, fitness options, and cultural, historical and special events. As with the summer camps held over the past two years, most activities will again be held outside in covered pavilions at Tawasentha Park or the Western Turnpike Golf Course. It is easy to register online at www.guilderlandrec.com or in-person at the Parks and Rec’s office at 181 Route 146 (across from Tawasentha Park).
I hope that you are having an enjoyable and relaxing weekend.
Thank you for staying safe and calm.
