New York’s COVID positivity rate is down to 0.64 percent. The governor yesterday also announced the first ten students between the ages of 12 and 17 to get the shot and win a full four-year scholarships to a state college or university. It’s the latest gimmick to lure more residents into getting vaccinated and Governor Andrew Cuomo says winners came from all over the state, including the Hudson Valley…
But not one from Rockland. At least not yet. There will be ten winners each week through June 30th.
