New York's seven-day and single-day average COVID-19 positivity rates continue to fall to record lows, Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced Sunday.

The state's 0.42% seven-day rate is tied with Massachusetts for the lowest in the United States, according to Johns Hopkins University data cited by the governor. The state's seven-day average has reached record lows for 16 consecutive days, and has declined for 69 straight days.

The governor also announced that New York's single-day statewide positivity rate is 0.35%, a record low.  

"New York's COVID-19 numbers continue to hit record lows and New Yorkers are ready to return to normal, and that's why we're reducing restrictions and providing vaccination incentives across New York State," Cuomo said in a statement. "Vaccination is the key to our success, and New Yorkers who get vaccinated improve the public health and protect their families and friends. We can move forward into a bright future together, but we need anyone who hasn't gotten the vaccine yet to make an appointment or simply walk into a site today."

On the vaccine front, 45,828 COVID-19 vaccine doses have been administered across New York over the last 24 hours, while more than 20 million total vaccines have been administered statewide. 

According to CDC data cited by Cuomo, 69.7% of all New Yorkers age 18 and older have received at least one vaccine dose, and 61.0% have completed their vaccine series. 57.6% of New Yorkers of all ages have received at least one dose and 49.6% have completed their vaccine series, according to CDC data cited by the governor. 

Eight COVID-19 deaths were confirmed across the state Sunday. 630 patients remain hospitalized. 170 are in the ICU, and 95 are in the ICU with intubation.
