Coronavirus (COVID-19) Seven Hundred, Ninety-Ninth Update,
Sunday, May 15, 2022
The State’s other COVID-19 data included the State’s positive rate for tests yesterday (8.24%), hospitalizations (2,373, -24), new COVID-19 hospital admissions (426), ICU patients (235, -9), intubations (92, +1), and deaths (18).
Assemblymember Patricia A. Fahy informed her constituents and friends yesterday that she and members of her staff had tested positive for COVID-19, and that she had only mild cold symptoms. She added that the Assembly’s session was nearing its end, and that she is working remotely and isolating. We wish Pat and her staff a speedy recovery.
With Albany County remaining at CDC’s “high” level of infection, County DOH is “strongly recommending that face masks be worn in public places and private businesses.” The Town continues to recommend that employees and visitors wear facemasks in public settings at indoor Town facilities.
A reminder that the Guilderland Police Department is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year, with the first event a public gathering on Saturday, June 18 from 11am to 2pm at DiCaprio Park. There will be a bounce house, gaming truck, food vendors and more family activities. Please take the time to meet the dedicated officers that we have entrusted to protect our community and join us in celebrating a half-century of public service.
I hope that you were able to enjoy a preview of summer weather before this afternoon’s thunderstorms. Our weather roller coaster renews again next week, with forecasted daytime highs mid-week in the low 60s, back near 90 by next weekend, and down again to the 60s.
