Have We Peaked? COVID-19 Cases in Westchester Towns: According to County Executive George Latimer Westchester County’s COVID-19 cases have flattened out and decreased slightly over the past 10 days. In his Monday, 2pm briefing he reported that through April 19, there have been over 70,000 COVID-19 tests, 23,803 positive cases and 743 deaths in Westchester County since March 1.

Active Cases in Westchester decline over past ten days

Most importantly there are currently 10,080 active cases which is down from slightly over 11,000 cases ten days ago. 1,089 Westchester residents are currently hospitalized with COVID-19 – which is the lowest number over the past eleven days. He reiterated past guidance that the County has over 3,000 available hospital beds and is experiencing a 10.8% hospitalization rate amongst patients testing positive for the novel-coronavirus – well below the 20% rate that would begin to stress hospital resources in the county.

He also reported that 84% of Westchester’s COVID-19 deaths were to people over 60 years old – 64% were over 70 year’s old. Deaths among people 40 years and younger were next to zero. And between 35 and 40% occurred in nursing homes.

Update on County Trails & Golf Courses

Finally, Latimer said that he doesn’t foresee county swimming pools and beaches opening before June at the earliest and can’t envision Rye Playland opening by Memorial Day. Meanwhile, County hiking trails and bicycle trails remain open. The County closed its six public golf courses in accordance with New York State recommendations but will re-open two of them this weekend, They are Mohansic in Yorktown and Hudson Hills in Ossining. Both he suggested are most conducive to monitoring and sustaining proper social distancing.
