ALBANY COUNTY — The county announced 29 confirmed cases of COVID-19 on Tuesday with three new hospitalizations.

At the same time, all 10 of the state’s regions were over the targeted 1 percent for rates of infection based on Monday’s test results. The Capital Region, of which Albany County is a part, had a positivity rate of 1.2 percent.

The statewide positivity rate was 1.81 percent, which includes the over-sampled zones with micro-clusters — those areas had a positivity rate of 2.63 percent.

“As our metrics demonstrate, New York State is not immune from the wave of COVID outbreaks currently sweeping across the nation and the increase in cases and hospitalizations over the past weeks must serve as a caution flag that unless we are vigilant and continue wearing masks, washing our hands and remaining socially distant, the viral spread will increase,” said Governor Andrew Cuomo in a statement, releasing the latest numbers.

He also noted that, across the country, COVID rates are spiking — 48 states and Washington, D.C. have seen cases increase over the last two weeks, and the metrics show New York State has also seen new outbreaks and increased spread in certain parts of the state.

Cuomo released these metrics from the last week:

— New York State’s statewide positivity has been the third lowest of any state in the nation, per Johns Hopkins University;

— New York State’s rate of new cases per 100,000 people has been the sixth lowest of any state in the nation;

— New York State’s current COVID hospitalizations per 100,000 people has been the seventh lowest of any state in the nation;

— New York State’s rate of new COVID fatalities per 100,000 people has been the third lowest of any state in the nation; and

— New York State has accounted for 10 percent of all of the nation’s COVID tests, and just 2.5 percent of the nation’s new COVID cases while representing 5.9 percent of the total United States population.
