Two weeks ago, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), only two counties in New York State – Nassau and Suffolk – were classified as “high” transmission rates of COVID-19.
Now the number 33 is in the midst of an outbreak of cases related to the highly contagious Delta variant.
The CDC announced in late July that people in areas with “high” and “high” transmission of COVID-19 should again wear masks indoors. This means that masks now have to be worn in 54 counties. Out of a total of 62 rural districts, only eight show a “moderate” prevalence.
As of Saturday, August 14, the list of New York state counties where vaccinated people should wear masks again is shown in the first image above – counties in either dark red (high) or orange (large).
That means the counties recorded between 50 and 99.99 new cases per 100,000 residents between Friday, August 6 through Thursday, August 14.
