COVID-19’s new sub-variant is here, but the state of New York has adopted an innovative way to track the virus.

It is showing up in testing for the virus in New York, but so far it is not spreading as fast as it has in other European countries and the United Kingdom, Hochul said.

As the state has passed the two-year anniversary of COVID-19, Governor Ned Lamont looked back on how the state persevered through these unprecedented times.

The vote grants Lamont the authority to continue some of his pandemic orders until June 30. It also continues his declaration of a public health emergency which allows Connecticut to get federal assistance.

Lawmakers heard from hundreds of concerned residents on Tuesday, with more than 300 people signed up for the daylong public hearing.

Lamont said he’d like the demise of the mandate by the end of the month. He said after that local school districts should decide.
