New York's daily COVID positivity rate is 1.36%, the lowest since July 18, Gov. Kathy Hochul announced Sunday.

According to the latest numbers released by the governor's office, 1,507 people are hospitalized with COVID-19, a drop of 34 patients from Saturday's numbers.

The governor says the state has had a positivity rate under 2% for 10 consecutive days.

On Sunday, 1,566 new cases and 12 new COVID-related deaths were also announced. 

"Time and time again, New Yorkers have shown that in the face of hardship they will always do what's necessary to keep themselves and their communities safe and well," Hochul said in a statement. "While we have made incredible progress against COVID-19, it is vital that those who have yet to take advantage of the vaccine do so as soon as possible. It's free, effective, and readily available. To maintain the progress we've made, get your vaccine today."
