NYC enters high COVID alert level as hospitalization rate tops key benchmark. Here's what that means in terms of mask protocol going forward

By borough, Staten Island and Manhattan are fueling case increases, with Queens , Brooklyn and the Bronx all reporting lower -- but escalating compared with previous days -- new case rates per 100,000 residents.

Queens' Bayside and Manhattan ZIP codes from Hell's Kitchen to the Upper East Side and Greenwich Village also are seeing high hospitalization rates, relatively speaking. "As a city, we have the tools to blunt the impact of this wave, including distributing tests, masks and promoting treatments," he added."Getting back to Low Risk depends on everyone doing their part and if we follow guidance, our forecasts anticipate this wave’s peak will not last long. What we do now can make all the difference."
