Just eight city zip codes are above 5 percent COVID-19 positivity, including three in Brooklyn

The rapid reduction in COVID-19 continues across New York City, as evidenced by the latest city Health Department data which revealed that just eight communities in the five boroughs exceeded a seven-day positivity rate of 5 percent.

Citywide, the seven-day positivity rate on April 30 stood at 2.86 percent. That’s nearly half the rate it was just 13 days prior, when on April 17, the city’s Health Department cited a citywide average of 5.06 percent.
